US Weighs Using ‘Mother of All Bombs’ Against Iran, Report Says

The United States is reportedly considering the possible use of the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), widely known as the “Mother of All Bombs,” in potential military operations against Iran, according to a CNN report citing US officials.

The powerful conventional bomb is designed to destroy targets over a wide area. Reports suggest that potential targets could include energy infrastructure and nuclear-related sites if President Donald Trump orders renewed military action.

However, questions remain about the weapon’s effectiveness against deeply buried and heavily fortified facilities. Its possible use would depend on the nature of the targets and the objectives of any future operation.

The reported consideration comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, raising concerns about further escalation in the Middle East.

No confirmed decision to use the weapon has been announced. The reported plans remain under consideration, and the situation continues to develop.
