What happened

Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

The US military has reportedly drawn up new attack plans that include the potential use of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. These plans are contingent on President Donald Trump ordering renewed combat operations. The deployment of this largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal would mark a significant escalation in the conflict, although questions remain regarding its effectiveness in achieving strategic objectives.
