Trump's Unwavering Position on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions

On September 11, 2026, former President Donald Trump reiterated his strong stance against Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, firmly declaring that the United States will not permit Tehran to acquire such capabilities. During a speech commemorating the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Trump emphasized that Iran will "never" possess nuclear weapons, highlighting the growing concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear program amid reports of increased activity at the heavily fortified site known as 'Mount of the Axe' located south of Natanz.

In his remarks, Trump condemned Iran as the "number one sponsor of terrorism worldwide," asserting that the U.S. would continue its fight against terrorism in honor of the victims of the 9/11 attacks. His statements came at a critical moment, as the international community grows increasingly anxious over Iran's nuclear ambitions and military developments in sensitive areas.

Mount of the Axe: New Activities Under Scrutiny

Trump's comments followed an announcement from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which reported construction and movement at the 'Mount of the Axe' facility, located approximately 220 kilometers south of Tehran, near the main uranium enrichment plant at Natanz. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi indicated that inspectors have yet to access the tunnel complex within the mountain, although satellite imagery has revealed signs of new activities and operations taking place at the site. However, Grossi noted that the agency lacks definitive information regarding the specific nature of these ongoing activities.

These developments come on the heels of the IAEA's decision to refer Iran's nuclear dossier to the United Nations Security Council for the first time in nearly two decades, primarily due to Tehran's lack of cooperation with investigations into traces of uranium found at undeclared sites.

In a recent rally for the Republican Party, Trump warned Iran against continuing its activities at the 'Mount of the Axe,' stating there is "minimal activity" occurring at the site. He urged Tehran not to "mess around" and threatened to respond with "severe force" should Iran persist in its provocative actions. This reaffirmation of Trump's position on Iran's nuclear file comes amidst escalating international pressure and concern regarding the activities taking place at Iran's fortified sites.
