Since the MOAB has already been used in combat against ISIS, in Afghanistan, during Trumps 1st term.

Focusing more on the implied sub-thought question of "Before or After the Mid-terms"? Could it be, the media needed a new TDS gripe for headlines prior to mid-terms to rally its minions?????

But say the LSD's, using their collection of illegal, dead, and printed virtual voters do manage to steal enough congressional seats in the mid-term election.

Then Trump still has 78 days until 01-03-2027 to address Iran as forcefully as needed.

Even If the LSD's do steal control and then resort to their usual ensuing Law-fare and Phony Impeachments tactics. It will only slow things down.

A US W76 90kt Neutron weapon popped for Max 5.0 PSI destruction might have some counter military effective radius.

But, consider the spread out deployment of Iranian military and leadership, several deployed that way would need to be used.

However, popping it, say at 1 mile up, would fry more command electronics.

The CCP companies would be supper rich selling replacement civilian electronics for many years.

7 A quick search suggests that a MOAB would be effective against an underground installation due to overpressure effects and that physical penetration is not required.
