> The US is considering using the GBU-43/B “mother of all bombs” against Iran, CNN reported, citing sources. Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities could be targeted if President Donald Trump orders hostilities to resume. The White House has asked the military to develop further strike plans; CNN said the bomb’s ability to achieve Trump’s strategic goals is questionable and its use would significantly escalate the conflict with Tehran.
