The bomb, intended for energy and nuclear sites, faces questions about its effectiveness against underground targets and potential civilian casualties. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described the current situation as the most intense blockade since the 1979 revolution, accusing the US of seeking to incite protests. President Trump made light of eliminating Iranian leaders, while Iran's Parliament Speaker stressed the need for war preparedness.
