Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to present President Donald Trump with intelligence alleging Iran is expanding activity at its Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site and is not negotiating in good faith over its nuclear program, according to reports.
According to the New York Post, citing a source in Jerusalem, Netanyahu’s team plans to present the intelligence during a meeting with Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
Netanyahu arrived in the United States on Monday evening, according to Israeli media reports.
Trump has recently said the Pickaxe facility remains a concern despite U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
The president recently said the U.S. would likely target the site “very heavily” and “pretty soon,” adding, “There’s not a thing they can do about it.”
His warning came after The Wall Street Journal reported that Israeli intelligence believes Iran moved thousands of centrifuges into the facility last fall.
Trump said the transfer “may have” occurred but added the United States did not have it “on record.”
The Post also reported that Israel plans to present evidence that Tehran is rebuilding its missile and drone programs.
