IRGC spox. lambasts Washington for "Mother of Bombs" threat

TEHRAN, Oct. 17 (MNA) – A spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has slammed the US President Donald Trump for using the sacred term 'mother' for a bomb to threaten Iran.

In a message on Saturday, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi said the future belongs to a nation that turns the enemies’ “biggest” threats into a subject of public humor.

Accoridng to the Press TV EN website, the statement comes amid reports that the US military has developed strike plans that could involve using the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), also known as the “mother of all bombs,” against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if President Donald Trump orders a resumption of combat operations.

The potential use of the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal would mark a significant escalation in the war between Tehran and Washington.

However, officials familiar with military planning discussions say questions remain over whether the weapon would help achieve US strategic objectives.
