Response from Iran to Trump's "mother of bombs" threat: The name and size of the bomb does not matter

Brigadier General Ibnu'r Riza responded to Trump's "mother of bombs" statement on his social media account.

Iranian Brigadier General Ibnu'r Reza said, "The names and sizes of the bombs do not matter. Your bomb will explode in your global reputation, in the US economy and even in your election calculations. It is the power of our missiles that changed the calculations and brought you to the point where you have to say 'Hello sir' today." he said.

While Trump was evaluating the attack allegations against Iran on "Newsmax" television, the program host Rob Finnerty asked whether the use of "tactical nuclear weapons" was among the options, and Trump said, "No, it is not nuclear. The mother of bombs is a big bomb, but it is not nuclear." he said.

GBU-43/B (MOAB) bomb against Iran

CNN and CBS News had claimed that the Washington administration was considering using the GBU-43/B bomb against Iran if Trump gave the approval to resume attacks before or after the midterm elections.

In its written statement to CBS News regarding the allegations, the White House noted that Trump kept all options on the table to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

The GBU-43/B (MOAB) bomb, weighing approximately 9,800 kilograms, is known as the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal. The bomb was used for the first time in April 2017, during Trump's first term as president, against a tunnel complex belonging to the terrorist organization ISIS in Afghanistan.
