This has led to a great deal of criticism, and what I believe to be not a lot of tactical and strategic thinking. What President Trump says and what he actually does, doesn\u2019t always match. It\u2019s also possible that the United States is working on a new plan and getting weapons in place. That takes time. One of the weapons they are thinking of using is the \u201cMother Of All Bombs,\u201d aka MOAB. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/10\/15\/world-news\/us-military-weighs-use-of-mother-of-all-bombs-in-future-strikes-on-iran-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from the New York Post<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The US military has developed strike plans that could include dropping the \u201cmother of all bombs\u201d on Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear targets if President Trump green-lights additional attacks on the regime, according to a report Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/ea\/23\/fc\/ea23fc317950a351b6133aa54935691a.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>A GBU-43\/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb \u2013 the largest non-nuclear explosive the US has ever detonated in combat \u2013 has not been used since 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/04\/13\/trump-mother-of-all-bombs-mission-was-very-successful\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when it was dropped on an ISIS cave and tunnel complex in Afghanistan<\/a> and its use would mark a significant escalation in Washington\u2019s 7 \u00bd month war with Tehran.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The use on the Taliban was basically a live fire test on actual targets.

Now one of the usual \u201cAnonymous sources\u201d so beloved by CNN told them that President Trump has told the military to put together a strike package that targets Iranian infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/89\/dd\/03\/89dd0375602653cfab96d204cff8737a.jpg\" width=\"329\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Another source claimed a MOAB \u2013 which contains 18,700 pounds of high explosives\u2014could be used in attacks on Pickaxe Mountain, the regime\u2019s hidden fortress located near the Natanz nuclear facility that President Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/08\/us-news\/irans-pickaxe-mountain-in-trumps-sights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously threatened to bomb.<\/a> <\/b><b>There has never been any indication of nuclear activity at the site, but <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/07\/22\/world-news\/irans-pickaxe-mountain-is-in-trumps-sights-but-attacking-it-is-difficult-experts-warn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experts say it\u2019s \u201clarge enough\u201d<\/a> to \u201chold a centrifuge enrichment plant.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know that area, however, if it\u2019s buried underground, it isn\u2019t the sort of target you use a MOAB on. For underground bunkers, you would use what they call a massive ordnance penetrator, or a bunker buster. However, for anything on the surface, or where there are caves or tunnels, a MOAB can do a lot of damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The White House hasn\u2019t ruled out potentially detonating a MOAB.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>President Trump keeps all options on the table to ensure that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,\u201d an official said, refusing to comment on the plans.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The MOAB is a weapon with a specific use. It isn\u2019t a nuclear weapon, but within certain parameters, it sure acts like one in some aspects. It doesn\u2019t have the massive thermal pulse of a nuke, but it does have a large blast radius. Also, since this is a thermobaric weapon, is burns up all the oxygen in the target area. Basically, it will blow you up, suffocate you and blow out your lungs all in one go.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/0a\/de\/39\/0ade39894f3ef6589111a3760bc9c6f9.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>It\u2019s unclear if such strikes would happen.

Iran\u2019s military capability has been thoroughly wrecked. They still have some drones and missiles. It does appear that China and Russia may be sending them some weapons as well. The one thing President Trump hasn\u2019t done is turn Iran into a technological dead zone. That would mean destroying things like power plants, water supply infrastructures, food, and transportation networks. Basically what we did to Germany and Japan in World War Two, just more completely. (Today\u2019s systems replace 100 B-17\u2019s with just a few laser guided bombs or JDAMS)<\/p>\n<p>There are also reports that the Iranians might have just gotten tired of being machinegunned in bulk by the IRGC and have started fighting back. If this is the case, I suspect that certain types of people who may either speak Hebrew or wear funny green French hats have been visiting Iran and providing some party favors to the Persians.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/54\/6f\/1b\/546f1b787caf73c861b2f682c9559931.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Democrats, who have become actual enemies of the United States, are basically backing Iran. They don\u2019t care that Iran was very close to what they needed to start building nuclear weapons. They like to say this is \u201cTrump\u2019s War,\u201d when, in fact, Iran declared war on the United States and Israel almost 50 years ago and has been killing Americans ever since. President Trump is just the first President since Reagan to do anything about it. What he needs to do is finish the job, once and for all. If dropping a few MOAB\u2019s can do that, I\u2019m all for it.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"wp-postratings-47829\" class=\"wp-postratings\" data-nonce=\"f6cb6db9f1\"><span class=\"wp-postratings-vote wp-postratings-scale wp-postratings-shape-star\" style=\"--wp-postratings-shape:url(data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%27http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%27%20viewBox=%270%200%2024%2024%27%3E%3Cpath%20d=%27M12%202.4l2.95%205.98%206.6.96-4.77%204.65%201.12%206.57L12%2017.46l-5.9%203.1%201.12-6.57L2.45%209.34l6.6-.96z%27\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\" data-post-id=\"47829\" role=\"radiogroup\" aria-label=\"Rate this post\"><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47829-5\" name=\"wp-postratings-47829\" value=\"5\" data-rating=\"5\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47829-5\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>5 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47829-4\" name=\"wp-postratings-47829\" value=\"4\" data-rating=\"4\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47829-4\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>4 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47829-3\" name=\"wp-postratings-47829\" value=\"3\" data-rating=\"3\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47829-3\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>3 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47829-2\" name=\"wp-postratings-47829\" value=\"2\" data-rating=\"2\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47829-2\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>2 Stars<\/span><\/label><input type=\"radio\" id=\"wp-postratings-47829-1\" name=\"wp-postratings-47829\" value=\"1\" data-rating=\"1\" \/><label for=\"wp-postratings-47829-1\" style=\"--wp-postratings-step-fill:100%\"><i class=\"wp-postratings-item\"><\/i><span>1 Star<\/span><\/label><\/span> (<strong>1<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"wp-postratings-text\" id=\"wp-postratings-47829-text\"><\/span><\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
