According to a CNN report citing US officials familiar with the matter, the US military is drafting a new strike plan that could include the use of the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, commonly known as the "Mother of all bombs," to target Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders a new combat operation.
The deployment of the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal would mark a significant escalation in the conflict, even though the plan has not yet been officially confirmed.
The Mother of all bombs is a high-yield explosive weapon designed primarily to strike surface-area targets, but the consideration of deploying this weapon in the standoff with Iran is putting both countries on the most dangerous trajectory imaginable. Article by: Rithy
