Part of situation: US-Iran tensions: US develops plans for MOAB strikes (50 clusters)

US military develops strike plans against Iranian nuclear and energy sites

MOAB bomb US military strike plans Iranian nuclear facilities Pickaxe Mountain energy infrastructure

The US military has developed new strike plans targeting Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities, according to reports citing US officials. These plans, which could be activated by President Donald Trump, include the potential use of the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal.

Specific targets mentioned include Pickaxe Mountain, a heavily fortified site where the US and Israel believe Iran stores components of its nuclear program. However, military officials have expressed doubts regarding the MOAB's effectiveness against such deep, granite-protected facilities, suggesting the weapon might serve more as a tool for psychological warfare than a bunker-buster.

The potential strikes could occur either before or after the upcoming US midterm elections. Some analysts suggest the administration might seek a decisive military action to declare victory before withdrawing forces from the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The deployment of such a weapon would represent a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
