Trump Weighs 'Mother of All Bombs' Option for Iran, Sources Say
Top administration and defense officials have prepared a range of options for President Donald Trump to consider as he weighs further military escalation in Iran, sources told ABC News. Among the options is the use of the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), commonly known as the "mother of all bombs." The MOAB is the largest non-nuclear bomb in the U.S. arsenal. The consideration comes amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, following attacks on U.S. forces and interests in the region. The bomb, which was first used in Afghanistan in 2017, is designed to destroy tunnels and caves. Its potential use against Iran would be a significant escalation. ABC News reports on the deliberations within the administration and the possible consequences. While no decision has been made, the mere consideration of such a weapon underscores the seriousness of the situation. Watch for the latest developments on this breaking story.
