Reports indicate that the US military has reportedly drawn up plans to potentially employ the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) weapon against Iran, though the extent of any presidential authorization remains unverified. These strategic options, which allegedly target energy infrastructure, have been reported to coincide with the upcoming US midterm elections.

According to Bloomberg, the United Kingdom is set to increase its supply of Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. No specific quantity or timeline for the additional deliveries was provided in the available reporting.

U.S. media reports cite anonymous administration officials who state the Pentagon is considering the use of large-yield bombs for potential future strikes against Iran, although the White House has not officially confirmed these specific operational plans.

These claims emerge amid ongoing tensions, including reported Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and a lack of clearly defined end goals for the current military engagement, which has already extended to seven months.

According to a CNN report, U.S. officials have reportedly prepared strike plans involving the GBU-43/MOAB for potential targets in Iran, though one official questioned the weapon's effectiveness against underground facilities. Concurrently, the Yemeni government stated that Houthi missile strikes on the presidential palace in Aden reportedly killed two security personnel while leaving government officials unharmed.
