Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in an exclusive interview with Newsmax on Friday, October 16, responded to a question about reports of the potential use of the "Mother of All Bombs" by the U.S. against Iran after the midterm elections, stating that this weapon is not nuclear. Trump said, "It's not nuclear at all. It's just a very big bomb; it's like a small nuclear bomb." He added, "I’m not using a nuclear weapon; we don’t need it. We are the largest nuclear power in the world. We have more nuclear weapons than Russia; Russia is second and China is third."

Earlier, CBS News reported that the White House and the Pentagon had prepared plans to use the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, known as the "Mother of All Bombs," against Iranian military sites; plans that could be executed if Donald Trump gives the order. A Pentagon official also stated that the Department of Defense is planning for a wide range of operational scenarios, and the White House spokesperson emphasized that Trump keeps "all options on the table" to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
