[US Media: New Strike Plan Against Iran Formulated, May Use "Mother of All Bombs" to Target Energy and Nuclear Facilities for the First Time] Reported by Jinse Finance, on October 15, according to CNN citing multiple U.S. officials familiar with the matter, the U.S. military has formulated a new strike plan. If President Trump orders the resumption of military operations around the midterm elections, the plan may include the use of the so-called "Mother of All Bombs"—the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB)—to target Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. Although doubts remain about whether this weapon can effectively achieve the strategic goals declared by Trump or alter the course of the conflict, several insiders familiar with U.S. military planning discussions have stated that the first use of the GBU-43/B, the largest non-nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal, in a conflict with Iran would signify a major escalation in the war situation.
