Trump threatens new ‘Pickaxe’ strike, calls war ‘small potatoes’ as China-Iran question looms?

President Donald Trump characterised the Iran fighting as a limited, intermittent “military conflict” rather than a major war, repeatedly calling it “small potatoes” compared with past U.S. wars. He said the U.S. may strike an Iranian location he called “Pickaxe” if it detects renewed activity there, and he downplayed claims that China is materially supporting Iran.
