According to "Select" report; This article continues: A Pentagon official said in an interview with CBS News: "The Department of War plans for a wide range of operational scenarios to implement the orders of the President and the Secretary of War and ensure mission success in any operational environment."

The White House spokesman also said: "We do not comment on sensitive military plans that may or may not exist. "President Trump is keeping all options on the table to ensure that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon."

Trump announced last week that the US will not attack Iran before the mid-term congressional elections. He also spoke of "constructive talks" with Iran, but did not provide details about those talks.

On Thursday, CNN reported for the first time about plans to use a large explosive aerial bomb or "Moab" (MOAB) against Iran.

Trump had previously prepared the ground for the use of this bomb; A weapon that is also known as the "mother of all bombs" and was first used in 2017 to attack a series of caves used by ISIS in Afghanistan.

This bomb is considered the largest non-nuclear weapon of the United States, it weighs more than 30,000 pounds (about 13.6 tons) and the production cost of each unit is 170,000 dollars.

Iran and the United States have largely refrained from directly attacking each other in recent weeks; This situation has been formed after several months of intermittent US attacks on targets in Iran. However, Trump has warned that if he cannot reach a satisfactory agreement with the Iranian government, the war may escalate again.

In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly last month, the US President said that he had to make a "big decision"; To reach an agreement with Iran or "destroy the Islamic Republic".

At the same time, the United States blockades Iranian ports and tries to continue the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Nevertheless, Iran has continued to threaten ships in this strategic waterway and attack them; A situation that has kept the global price of oil at a high level.

According to the announcement of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), during this summer, most of the American attacks on Iran were focused on the country's conventional military capabilities near the Strait of Hormuz; including air defense positions and places where missiles and drones are stored.

Trump has also raised the possibility of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, including Pickaxe Mountain; A place that is located deep in the earth and analysts believe that it may be part of Iran's nuclear program.
