According to a CNN report citing anonymous officials, U.S. military planners are reportedly assessing the potential use of the GBU-43/MOAB against Iranian energy and nuclear infrastructure, though experts have questioned its efficacy against deep underground sites.

The proposed action would follow a diplomatic impasse since the February onset of the conflict, which Washington and Israel attribute to preventing a nuclear breakout, a charge Tehran denies.
