US considers Mother of All Bombs against Iran
Reports indicate that the US military has developed plans to deploy the GBU-43/B "Mother of All Bombs" to target Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities if President Trump issues orders to resume military operations. The plan involves potentially dropping the bomb from C-130 Hercules aircraft onto surface or fortified targets, with destructive effects extending to a one-kilometer radius. This bomb, weighing approximately 9.8 tons and containing 8.5 tons of explosives, is among the largest conventional weapons and raises questions about its ability to bring about a decisive change in deep nuclear targets. If invoked, Iran might respond with geographic escalation and defensive tactics, with limited prospects for large-scale ground operations, given the country's terrain and mountainous nature that hinder such attacks. The bomb has previously been used in operations in Afghanistan and is considered part of potential US military options against Iranian nuclear facilities, though doubts remain about its effectiveness against heavily fortified or complex targets.
