NEW: The US military has developed plans to potentially use the Mother of All Bombs (MOAB), its most powerful non-nuclear bomb, against Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites, including Mount Makush, before or after the midterm elections. Officials doubt the bomb could destroy deeply buried nuclear facilities, but say it could be used as a psychological weapon, allowing Trump to claim a symbolic victory and withdraw US forces without restarting a full-scale war.
