Major attack on Iran planned after midterms: 'mother of all bombs' in sight

U.S. and Israeli officials confirm plans for military strikes against Iran, with discussions between U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The U.S. is repositioning military assets in the region and may use the MOAB bomb against Iranian nuclear sites. Experts question the effectiveness of the MOAB for deep bunkers, suggesting the Massive Ordnance Penetrator would be more suitable. The strikes are seen as a potential way for Trump to claim victory before the midterm elections, despite rising unpopularity regarding the war. The situation remains tense, with ongoing attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and concerns about Iranian retaliation.
