US-Iran: Tehran warns of ‘father of all bombs'

The United States and Israel are reportedly preparing for a renewed military campaign against Iran following the US midterm elections, while Iran has threatened to develop a powerful new weapon. According to U.S. and Israeli officials, plans are in place for a focused operation targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear sites, and missile systems.

The U.S. may consider deploying the massive MOAB bomb, but its effectiveness against Iran's buried nuclear facility remains uncertain. Iran has vowed to respond to any renewed aggression and has vowed to unleash a weapon dubbed the "Father of All Bombs." The U.S. has assembled a large military force, including aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and special operations troops, but the decision to launch strikes remains uncertain due to political considerations and concerns about Iran's retaliation.
