Key summary
According to a CNN report citing sources on October 15, 2026, the US military is preparing a new strike plan against Iran that could involve dropping the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb. This non-nuclear weapon, weighing nearly 10,000 kilograms, is designed to cause widespread destruction rather than penetrate deep underground targets like nuclear facilities. While President Donald Trump faces pressure to end the unpopular conflict and Republicans anticipate political fallout from midterm elections, no decision has been made on whether to proceed with the operation.
