President Donald Trump says that the United States has knocked out much of Iran’s military but it still has to “take care of” one or two targets including a suspected nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain, AFP reports.

Trump maintains that negotiations with Iran are “going fine but you know they’re not very reliable.” The US president reiterates that the US is not in a hurry to take offensive action because it has decimated Iran’s military and nuclear program.

“We’ve knocked out their nuclear. We still have to take care of, I would say one or two sites, but we can do that in 10 minutes,” Trump has told reporters at his Florida residence.

“You probably could look at Pickaxe Mountain, and you have to take care of that. We can do that all very quickly,” he adds, referring to a suspected underground nuclear complex.

The Iranian government has denied any nuclear work is carried out there.
