Tell the Iranians to be ready,&#8221; the president said during an interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">But later on, he also claimed that the US has no intelligence indicating any activity in the complex or that the centrifuges were transported there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to brief US President Donald Trump about Iran&#8217;s actions in Pickaxe Mountain&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[41,38,34,62,5785,1424,31738,11742,51055],"class_list":["post-225986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-iran-nuclear","tag-iran-nuclear-bomb","tag-iran-nuclear-deal","tag-iran-nuclear-news","tag-natanz","tag-netanyahu-iran"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116997434103299806","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
