US President Donald Trump is turning up the pressure on Iran, with fresh attention on Pickaxe Mountain, a site linked to the country's underground nuclear infrastructure. Could Washington deploy its most powerful conventional weapons to target Iran's deeply buried facilities? The prospect raises major questions about America's military options, Tehran's nuclear ambitions and the risk of a wider regional conflict. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, widely known as the “Mother of All Bombs”, is among the largest non-nuclear weapons in the US arsenal, but its capabilities differ from those of specialised bunker-busting munitions. As tensions remain high, explore the strategic calculations, military challenges and potential consequences of any US strike on Iran's fortified nuclear sites.
