Trump says the U.S. still has 'one or two' sites to target in Iran
President Trump told reporters in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday that the U.S. has knocked out much of Iran's military but still has to "take care of, I would say one or two sites," including a suspected underground nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain, adding "we can do that in 10 minutes." He said talks to end the war were "going fine" but called Iran "not very reliable." Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump has not decided on new strikes and the U.S. is open to a diplomatic solution. Iran denies any nuclear work at Pickaxe Mountain, and its supreme leader has warned the U.S. and Israel against new attacks.
