The strike on Iran, and what comes next
Linda Feldmann
Washington Bureau Chief
In retrospect, the dramatic events of the weekend should not have been a complete surprise. Late last week, President Donald Trump had announced he鈥檇 take up to two weeks to decide whether to attack Iran鈥檚 nuclear facilities. By Saturday, the B-2 bombers were on their way. President Trump鈥檚 鈥渢wo-week window,鈥� it鈥檚 now clear, was a ruse to throw the Iranians off-guard. I wrote a quick analysis of the political stakes for Mr. Trump.
Trump ally Steve Bannon, speaking at a Monitor Breakfast last Wednesday, warned against military action 鈥� then had lunch with the president the next day. The divisions within the 鈥淢AGA-verse鈥� are real, but the story is far from over. Will Iran now negotiate? See our coverage below.
