The US military is reportedly drawing up plans that could see the use of the “mother of all bombs” to target Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites, according to reports.
President Donald Trump could give the order to resume combat operations either before or after the midterm elections, it is understood.
Pressure to end the war
The development comes as Trump faces pressure to end the war with Iran. The plans are being prepared amid ongoing conflict, with the potential for a significant escalation of military action.
No specific timeline has been confirmed for when a decision might be made, but the option remains on the table as the president weighs his next steps.
Potential targets and timing
Reports indicate that Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites are the primary targets under consideration. The use of the “mother of all bombs” would represent a major intensification of US military operations in the region.
The order to resume combat operations could come either before or after the midterm elections, leaving the timing uncertain. Further details are expected to follow as the situation develops.
