So now what?

That’s the biggest question. What happens now following President Donald Trump’s decision to have the U.S. military attack three nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend?

The indications were Monday night that the war between Iran and Israel might be over. But those are, for now, just words. And it isn’t clear what is happening or what will happen next.

As far as actions, we’ve already seen a little of the “now what?” as, in response to the U.S.’s actions on Saturday, Iran launched a missile attack Monday on an American base in Qatar, the largest American military installation in the Middle East.
