  • The unveiling follows U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to use "the mother of all bombs."

  • The announcement comes after a war involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard is preparing to unveil a new weapon, dubbed "the father of all bombs," days after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to use "the mother of all bombs" against Iranian nuclear facilities. Tehran claims a significant increase in its missile stockpiles and improved capabilities, though specific details remain undisclosed.

Trump's remarks came during a Newsmax interview where he discussed the potential use of a massive conventional bomb, explicitly ruling out a nuclear option against Iran but not dismissing the use of the powerful conventional weapon. This announcement follows a war that erupted in February between the United States and Israel against Iran. During that conflict, Tehran targeted sites in Israel and American bases in Arab countries.
