CNN: US Military Plans Nuclear Strikes Against Iran by Trump's Order
Translated by Qiyas from الجريدة — Original source
CNN reported on Thursday, citing U.S. officials, that the U.S. military has drawn up plans to carry out strikes that could include the use of a GBU-43/B bomb, also known as the “Mother of All Bombs,” against Iran’s energy infrastructure and nuclear sites, should President Donald Trump order a resumption of combat operations.
The use of this bomb, the largest non-nuclear weapon in the U.S. arsenal, would constitute a serious escalation in the conflict. However, officials familiar with the military planning discussions told CNN that questions remain about its effectiveness in achieving Washington’s strategic objectives.
