Fears Run High as Iran Weighs Response to U.S. Strikes

“Civilians, diplomats and military officials on several continents were waiting anxiously on Monday to see the ramifications of President Trump’s decision to bomb a trio of Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, a move that will almost certainly have far-reaching impacts on global security,” the New York Times reports.

“After the bombings on Sunday brought the United States into Israel’s war against Iran, fears grew among American allies and adversaries of a dangerously escalating conflict across the region. American military and intelligence officials detected potential signs that Iran-backed militias were preparing to attack American bases in Iraq, and possibly Syria.”

“Iranian officials appeared to be weighing their options for retaliation against the United States.”
