CNN reported that the US administration is considering using the "mother of all bombs" against Iran.

The news network reported, citing American officials, that the US military has made plans to launch strikes that may include the use of a GBU-43/B bomb, also known as the “Mother of All Bombs,” against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders the resumption of combat operations.

It quoted officials as saying that the US military continues to provide President Donald Trump with options against Iran.

She said that the US President ordered the army to provide additional options against Iran, and among the options for military action against Iran is to strike a huge infrastructure.

CNN quoted an official in the US Department of War as saying that Washington is preparing for wide-ranging scenarios against Iran, and the US army is preparing for any possible Iranian response. He said that advanced targets against Iran require the use of the "mother of all bombs."

The American News Network also reported that American plans have been made to target Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites.

The use of this bomb, the largest non-nuclear weapon in the US arsenal, would be considered a dangerous escalation in the conflict, but officials familiar with military planning discussions told CNN that questions remain about its feasibility in achieving Washington's strategic goals.
