In a post on his X account, General Ebn al-Reza responded to speculation about the possible use of the so-called “mother of all bombs” against Iran, dismissing the significance of the weapons’ names and destructive power and stressing that Iran’s missile capabilities have changed the equations.
“The names and dimensions of bombs do not matter!” he wrote.
“Your bombs will explode somewhere else: in your global standing, the US economy, and even your electoral calculations!” the Iranian general reminded the US.
“It is our missile power that has changed the equations and brought you to the point where, from now on, you must say: ‘Yes, sir!’” the general said, addressing the US officials.
His remarks came amid reports that the US military has drawn up new strike options involving the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal, potentially targeting Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites if Trump orders a resumption of combat operations.
The reported plans have emerged as Washington faces domestic political pressure over the war and questions about whether further strikes could achieve its strategic objectives.
