Even after a U.S. bombing raid last June and more than five weeks of attacks on Iran since February,
one suspected nuclear site remains untouched.

Experts say the underground facility, known as #Pickaxe #Mountain, is buried so deep that it may lie beyond the reach of America’s most powerful bunker-buster bombs.

Experts do not believe the facility is yet complete.
But they fear that in the future, Pickaxe Mountain could provide Iran a venue for producing nuclear weapons that is impervious to aerial attack.

As Trump bombed the country in recent weeks, some Iran hawks pressed him to consider sending Special Forces on a risky ground mission to destroy the facility with planted high explosives.

Other experts who favor dialogue over conflict call those ideas far-fetched and say that Pickaxe Mountain illustrates the impossibility of relying on force alone to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

Now that Trump is pursuing negotiations with Iran,
both camps argue that any deal must include a provision ensuring that Pickaxe Mountain is permanently shut down.

The boy rushed over to show me how he fabricated a pickaxe out of McDonalds fries.

Never too early to start engineering.
