In the early morning of the 15th, CNN quoted several US officials as reporting that the US military has formulated a new plan to attack Iran, which includes considering the use of large air explosives known as the “mother of bombs” to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Although US President Trump has previously stated that he will not launch an attack on Iran before the midterm congressional elections, he has ordered the military to develop a new plan to attack Iran. The targets include Iran's “massive energy infrastructure” and Iran's nuclear facilities to be attacked using the “mother of the bomb.” Sources said that the “mother of the bomb” may not have enough penetration depth to destroy Iran's underground nuclear facility in Haoshan, which is believed to be buried deep in the granite mountains, but it may still be used by the US as a weapon of psychological deterrence.
