Iran Prepares to Unveil 'Father of All Bombs' in Response to US

Iran is preparing to introduce a formidable new weapon termed the 'Father of All Bombs' to counter American military threats. Hossein Mohebi, a spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that the upcoming weapon would present a completely new challenge for Iran's adversaries. However, specific details regarding its technological specifications, operational range, or precise unveiling timeline were not disclosed.

The IRGC spokesperson claimed that Tehran's missile arsenal and precision-strike capabilities have grown considerably, with missile reserves increasing by one and a half times following recent conflicts. Mohebi emphasized that Iranian forces possess tested and operational capabilities capable of targeting and damaging American aircraft carriers and naval warships stationed in regional waters.

This announcement directly follows escalating military rhetoric from Washington, where US President Donald Trump had previously referenced the potential deployment of America's massive GBU-43/B conventional weapon against Iranian facilities. That weapon, weighing nearly 9,800 kilograms, is widely known as the 'Mother of All Bombs', prompting Tehran's symbolic counter-naming.

Despite Iran's aggressive posturing, independent verification of the new weapon's exact nature or destructive yield remains unavailable. Military analysts note that whether the system represents a heavy aerial bomb or an advanced missile platform, the announcement escalates psychological deterrence and sharpens regional tensions between Washington and Tehran.
