Iran Plans to Unveil 'Father of All Bombs' Amid US MOAB Threats
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced plans to unveil a new weapon called the "Father of All Bombs," described as a powerful conventional bomb potentially surpassing the US's "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB). This announcement follows reports that the US, under President Donald Trump, considered using the MOAB against Iranian targets. While details about Iran's weapon remain limited, it is seen as a response to US military threats, with comparisons drawn to Russia's operational "Father of All Bombs."
