Key US Weapons and Strategies Shaping the Iran-Israel Conflict
The Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is a 30,000-pound U.S. bunker-busting bomb designed to destroy deeply buried underground targets, such as Iran's nuclear facilities, with high precision. It is deployed exclusively by the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and has been upgraded for better penetration and targeting capabilities. The MOP is considered a critical tool in potential military operations against fortified underground sites like Iran's Fordow facility, although its actual use remains unreported.
