Over the weekend, President Trump gave the okay to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, thus joining Israel in the conflict against Iran. Specifically, the U.S. targeted Fordow, a uranium enrichment facility deep inside a remote mountain in Iran, and facilities at Natanz and Isfahan. Monday, in retaliation, Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base, Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who received a classified briefing Monday morning, told reporters that the U.S. anticipated Iran's reprisal. Qatar's Ministry of Defense relayed a statement that the base’s air defense system intercepted the missiles towards the base and no deaths or injuries were reported. Now that the U.S. is engaged in warfare towards Iran, do you think we’re on our way to WWIII? We discussed the latest in the U.S. conflict with Iran.
