Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to brief U.S. President Donald Trump on intelligence alleging renewed nuclear activity by Iran at the underground Pickaxe Mountain site. The information indicates that nuclear centrifuges were recently moved to the facility, where construction began in 2020. Netanyahu plans to argue that the activity shows Iran is not negotiating in good faith.
The claims follow an earlier report by the Wall Street Journal. Neither Israel nor the United States has publicly released evidence supporting the reported intelligence, and the claims could not be independently verified. Iran's nuclear program and the Israel-Iran conflict are also expected to feature prominently in the discussions.
The planned briefing occurs amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing international concerns over Iran's nuclear program. No additional details on the timing or format of the briefing have been released.
