USA plan a big bomb

15. October 2026, 09:45

The USA army makes new plans. These plans target Iran. A very special bomb helps. People call it the mother of all bombs. Its real name is GBU-43/B. It weighs almost 10 tons.

It is the biggest bomb without nuclear power. The USA wants to hit energy plants in Iran. Nuclear plants are also targets. One target is the Pickaxe Mountain plant. This plant lies deep under a mountain. But experts have doubts.

The bomb works best on the surface. It maybe can not go deep into the mountain. The bomb wants to scare Iran too. This is a mental effect. Iran prepares for attacks now.

President Donald Trump decides on the use. The USA used the bomb 1 time before. That was in 2017 in Afghanistan. Back then they fought against the Islamic State. The bomb makes a very strong blast wave.
