Consider This from NPR - What are the wider repercussions of the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites?

The U.S. joined Israel's war on Iran and over the weekend bombed three of the country's nuclear sites, including Fordo, located deep inside a mountain.

In the aftermath of the bombing, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on the attack.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi tweeted that the U.S.'s attack would have "everlasting consequences."

The move by the Trump administration is a massive escalation, and brings the U.S. into direct conflict with Iran. How will Iran respond and what are the wider repercussions?

NPR's Andrew Limbong speaks with journalist Robin Wright, author of "The Last Great Revolution: Turmoil and Transformation in Iran."
