Persian Gulf

Iran's response would likely be more of the same: a larger missile salvo against US bases in Jordan and maybe other countries (Kuwait and Bahrain - those that don't have back door dealings with Iran).Oil at $104-105 and Houthi’s advancement and near full control of Bab Al-Mandeb.
Striking the capital right now may be too risky for Trump, like MBS striking Sanaa. So he might decide that Pickaxe Mountain is more attractive for his propaganda story. We already have mainstream media feeding the narrative it’s doing “covert” nuclear work.
What do you think Iranian response would be in attack on Pickaxe mountain?
The facility is not operational yet anyway, and it is not clear that the US could even destroy it permanently.
Anyway, momentum has shifted slightly and Trump is under greater pressure thanks to Yemen. But Iran should not get complacent, and must continue to put more pressure on with unexpected tactics and moves (using cheap cluster munitions in Jordan was a good example of this, damaged a large number of jets and depleted a large number of interceptors).
