What you need to know about the ‘mother of all bombs’ as Trump looks to end Iran war

President Donald Trump is weighing new military options against Iran that could include the largest non-nuclear bomb in the U.S. arsenal, as his administration faces mounting pressure to end the war as the November midterm elections approach.

The plans would only be carried out if Trump orders a resumption of major combat operations.
