The enormous munition—previously used against Iran’s nuclear facilities during “Operation Midnight Hammer” in June 2025—was reportedly used to target an underground Iranian leadership meeting in Tehran.

Operation Epic Fury is still underway, and in spite of the destruction of much of Iran’s leadership echelon, Tehran continues to put up stiff resistance. Accordingly, the US military is bringing out the biggest weapons in its arsenal in an attempt to force Iran’s remaining leaders to the negotiation table. 

As part of the strategy of steadily increasing pressure on the Iranian regime, the US Air Force reportedly dropped the GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP), its biggest non-nuclear bomb, against a regional headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Monday.
