Iran's president slams US threats as Washington considers 'mother of all bombs'
Iranian President Masoud Pazhkian accused Washington of trying to pursue "diplomacy through threats" by leveraging heavy military intimidation against Tehran, according to a statement posted on his official X account.
Pazeshkian condemned the White House for initiating aggression under the pretense of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, stressing that US forces deployed a precision strike missile (PrSM) during an attack on a Balmard sports hall on the opening day of the wars that killed 21 civilians.
Referring to reports that the Pentagon is considering deploying the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), known as the "mother of all bombs," against underground nuclear facilities, Pazeshkian called Washington claiming "no contradiction, but a disgrace," adding: "Who threatens world peace and security? ".
