AhlulBayt News Agency: A spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has slammed the use of the word “Mother” for its heaviest bomb, saying only a “barbaric civilization” would use such a sacred term for a weapon.
In a message on Saturday, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi said the future belongs to a nation that turns the enemies’ “biggest” threats into a subject of public humor.
The statement comes amid reports that the US military has developed strike plans that could involve using the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), also known as the “mother of all bombs,” against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders a resumption of combat operations.
The potential use of the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal would mark a significant escalation in the war between Tehran and Washington.
However, officials familiar with military planning discussions say questions remain over whether the weapon would help achieve US strategic objectives.
