Iran’s ‘Nuclear Fortification’: Weapons Hidden Under Dirt Mountains as Trump’s Strike Threat Escalates World War Fears

Tehran/Washington, January 31 (2026): Tensions between Iran and the United States have reached a dangerous turning point. Recent satellite images reveal that Iran has erected massive dirt mountains to protect its nuclear sites, especially Fordow and Natanz. These fortifications are so robust that America has been forced to rethink its strike strategy.

Iran’s New Strategy: Nuclear Stockpiles Buried Under Mountains
Satellite imagery shows Iran burying its uranium stockpiles deep underground, beyond the reach of any airstrike. Excavated sites are being covered with thick layers of rubble and soil. Additionally, Iran has deployed over 1,000 drones ready to retaliate against any attack.

Donald Trump’s Stern Warning
On January 28, President Donald Trump warned Iran in no uncertain terms: if it doesn’t accept U.S. demands, it will face a “very rapid” attack. Key U.S. demands include:

Permanently shutting down its uranium enrichment program.
Halting ballistic missile development.
Ending support for groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

To back this threat, the U.S. has positioned its warship USS Abraham Lincoln, bomber aircraft, and destroyers near Iran.

Global Impact and Risks
Experts warn that striking Iran could have dire consequences:

Nuclear Proliferation Race: Countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Japan, and South Korea might rush to develop nuclear weapons for self-defense.
Security Illusion: History shows nations that abandoned nuclear programs—like Libya and Ukraine—later faced attacks, making Iran unwilling to back down.
Regional Instability: Attempting regime change in Iran, home to 93 million people, could engulf the entire Middle East in flames.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has acknowledged that Iran is no weak state, and its fall could put nuclear technology into the wrong hands.
