Trump’s 11-Ton Nightmare for Iran? US’ ‘Mother of All Bombs’ to reach Israel Soon? War Not Over Yet? [Video]

Trump’s 11-Ton Nightmare for Iran? US’ ‘Mother of All Bombs’ to reach Israel Soon? War Not Over Yet?

The U.S. is reportedly set to transfer the powerful 11-ton "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) to Israel, marking a major shift in policy amid rising tensions with Iran. This devastating non-nuclear weapon, capable of destroying deep underground facilities, could be used to target Iran’s uranium enrichment sites. Past U.S. presidents, including Bush, Obama, and Biden, denied Israel's request for the bomb, but Trump now appears to have changed course. With fears of Iran nearing nuclear weapons capability and Trump warning of severe retaliation against any Iranian threat, is the region on the brink of war? #TrumpIran #MotherOfAllBombs #USIsraelAlliance #IranNuclearThreat #MOAB #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelDefense #TrumpWarStrategy #IranVsIsrael #Geopolitics #MilitaryPower #BreakingNews #TrumpDoctrine #NuclearShowdown #WarFooting Also Read Trump Signs Order Imposing Sanctions On International Criminal Court Over Probe Of Israel :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-signs-order-imposing-sanctions-on-international-criminal-court-over-probe-of-israel-4064475.html?ref=DMDesc Marco Rubio Highlights Trump's Genuine Interest in Greenland and Panama Canal Due to China Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rubio-trump-greenland-panama-canal-china-concerns-011-4058145.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Controversial Claims Linking Diversity Hiring to DC Plane Crash Under Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-dei-for-dc-plane-crash-011-4058133.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

Trump Pledges to Rename Denali to Mount McKinley, Sparking Debate Over Heritage and History

During his inauguration, Donald Trump announced plans to restore the name of North America’s tallest peak from Denali to Mount McKinley. This move would reverse Barack Obama’s 2015 decision to honor Alaska’s indigenous heritage by officially recognizing the traditional name, Denali, meaning "The High One." The peak, named after President McKinley in 1917, has been a point of contention between honoring indigenous culture and preserving historical legacies, with Trump's decision reigniting a decades-long debate. #Trump #MountMcKinley #Denali #Inauguration #IndigenousRights #HistoricalLegacy #Alaska #KoyukonAthabascan #Obama #Heritage #PeakRenaming #USHistory #AmericanPolitics #PresidentialActions #CulturalDebate #GoldStandard #WilliamMcKinley #TraditionalNames #MountainRenaming #NativeAmerican Also Read Trump Vows To Launch Trade Wars With 'Tariffs & Taxes' On Foreign Nations In His Pro-America Inaugural Address :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vows-to-launch-trade-wars-with-tariffs-and-taxes-on-foreign-nations-in-his-pro-america-inaugur-4048253.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces US Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord, End Electric Vehicle Mandate :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-us-withdrawal-from-paris-climate-accord-end-electric-vehicle-mandate-4048251.html?ref=DMDesc 'Drill, Baby, Drill': President Trump Declares National Energy Emergency, Promises To Boost US Oil Independenc :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drill-baby-drill-president-trump-declares-national-energy-emergency-promises-to-boost-us-oil-i-4048247.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.121~ED.194~
