Here’s how Iran could retaliate after US strikes on its nuclear program
- The United States struck Iranian nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz on early Sunday, prompting Iranian retaliation warnings.

- These events risk escalating the conflict regionally and globally, possibly affecting oil markets due to the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
