The Pentagon does not rule out the possibility of using the giant GBU-43/B bomb, known as the "mother of all bombs", in attacks against Iran. It is a conventional, non-nuclear bomb designed to cause massive damage.

According to sources cited by CNN, this option has been presented to US President Donald Trump, who has not ruled out ordering a new wave of attacks.

The GBU-43/B bomb could be used against Iranian infrastructure or for an attack on Pickaxe Mountain, where a large bunker housing a facility linked to Iran's nuclear program is located.

According to CNN sources, the use of this weapon would give the White House the opportunity to carry out a powerful attack and then declare victory, ending the conflict. The operation would also be accompanied by conventional air strikes against enemy positions.

However, the use of the bomb is accompanied by several question marks.

First, it is uncertain whether the GBU-43/B can penetrate the thick layer of rock and concrete that protects the nuclear facility. The bomb is designed to destroy tunnels and large areas, but experts estimate that the mountainous structure could be much harder to damage.

Second, Iran has warned of broad retaliation against the Persian Gulf countries, which have already faced missile and drone attacks.

Third, further US military involvement could clash with the attitudes of a portion of the electorate that supports Trump.

Trump used the bomb again in 2017

Donald Trump has previously authorized the use of this bomb. In 2017, it was dropped on an Islamic State tunnel network in Afghanistan, reportedly killing 37 militants.

The Moab bomb, whose name comes from the English abbreviation Massive Ordnance Air Blast, was developed in 2003. It was dropped from an MC-130 military aircraft, a special variant of transport aircraft.

Its use in Iran would require the creation of a safe air corridor for the aircraft, which is relatively slow and can be exposed to air defenses.

Analysts recall that the 2017 attack on Islamic State positions was also demonstrative in nature. It aimed not only to destroy the targets, but also to send a warning message to opponents.

However, Iran continues to declare that it is ready to face a further escalation of the conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz, another hot spot

Meanwhile, the statements of the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy, Ali Azmaei, regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz have also received special attention.

According to him, US forces are escorting small groups of oil tankers passing through the strait with fighter jets. This tactic is intended to reduce the risk of surprise attacks.

However, according to the Iranian commander, Tehran's forces have adapted their tactics to impede the movement of ships.

Attacks on tankers have been frequent. According to the report, from September 28 to the day of publication of the article, nearly 30 incidents have been recorded. On the other hand, the Americans have noticed an increase in the presence of traditional sailing vessels, known as dhows, and fishing boats, which are suspected of being used to monitor the movements of naval forces.

According to estimates provided to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Iran has lost many radar systems and surveillance equipment, but has found cheaper ways to continue to disrupt navigation in this strategic route.

Commander Azmaei has described this strategy as a form of "intelligent control" of the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that ships that want to pass without facing consequences must obtain authorization from Tehran.
