CNN: US Mulls Using the MOAB Against Iran

The article discusses the possibility of the United States using the "Mother of All Bombs" against Iran. It revealed that the U.S. military has developed plans to carry out strikes targeting Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites, should President Donald Trump order military operations—whether before or after the midterm elections. Although the bomb is powerful and typically used to clear large areas, there are doubts about its effectiveness against fortified facilities like Mount Aesh, as its effects may be limited to the surface and could raise concerns about civilian casualties. Sources indicate that the use of the bomb might be more psychological than strategic, aimed at demonstrating strength or applying pressure on Iran, without guaranteeing a decisive victory. It is also expected that other less severe options might be considered by the leadership. Trump faces political pressure to end an unpopular war, amid ongoing military preparations and the possibility of Iran retaliating to any potential attack.
