Report Says Trump Is Considering MOAB Strike Options Against Iran

The United States is reportedly considering the use of its largest non-nuclear bomb against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities if President Donald Trump approves renewed military action. The weapon under consideration is the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, widely known as the MOAB. It weighs about 9.8 tonnes and is built to create a massive blast over a wide area rather than destroy deeply buried targets. Military planners are also said to be weighing other options, including possible strikes on the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site. However, no final decision to launch an attack has been announced. The report has raised concerns about whether the bomb could penetrate underground facilities and about the risk of civilian casualties near populated infrastructure.
