US military planners have drawn up options to deploy the GBU-43/B MOAB against Iranian energy infrastructure and underground sites, according to CNN. No decision has been announced; the White House says all options remain on the table. The MOAB’s use would be a major escalation, with uncertain strategic value and significant civilian risk.
The United States has drawn up options for renewed strikes on Iran using the MOAB, though officials warn the move would be a symbolic escalation rather than a decisive shift. Reports indicate planning is under consideration and could target energy infrastructure or underground facilities, with officials stressing the weapon’s non-nuclear status.
