== Analysis ==
[[Ray Takeyh]], a senior fellow at the [[Council on Foreign Relations]], called the strikes "a new phase, and a potentially problematic one," and said that Iran "would have to essentially restore pride in some way," potentially by launching attacks on American military sites or proxies.<ref name="Nagourney" /> [[Karim Sadjadpour]], a senior fellow at the [[Carnegie Endowment for International Peace]], noted, "This is more likely to open a new chapter of the 46-year-old US–Iran war than conclude it", that most of the retaliatory options available to Iran are the "equivalent of a suicide bombing", and "this is a traumatic, humiliating event" for the Iranian population, leaving it unclear exactly how Iran will respond.<ref>{{Cite news |date=June 21, 2025 |title=Trump Bombs Iran: Live Updates |url=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/us-bombs-iran-war-israel-live-updates.html |access-date=June 22, 2025 |website=Intelligencer ([[New York (magazine)|New York]]) |language=en}}</ref>
Jonathan Panikoff, the director of the Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative at the [[Atlantic Council]], warned that Iran might respond disproportionally to restore deterrence, stating, "you're looking at a significant escalatory spiral that could get out of hand quickly."<ref name="Nagourney" />
[[NBC News]] correspondent Matt Bradley said on [[MSNBC]] that Trump may not expect a large reaction from Iran, given the general lack of response after the [[assassination of Qasem Soleimani]] in 2020. [[Trita Parsi]] said the event reminded him of [[George W. Bush]]'s [[Mission Accomplished speech]] and may further encourage Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. [[Richard Engel]] reported that the Iranians felt "duped".<ref>{{cite AV media |title=MSNBC |date=June 21, 2025}}</ref>{{full citation needed|date=June 2025}}

A [[CNN]] analyst noted that the United States may still attack further targets given that there "is a real concern that now the Iranians will retaliate", and suggested that Iran could attack U.S. bases in [[Qatar]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Saudi Arabia]], and [[Bahrain]], and potentially close the [[Strait of Hormuz]].<ref name="Brennan 20250621" />
''[[The Economist]]'' reported, "even if America did not reach all parts of the Fordow complex, the powerful blasts might have done enough to damage or destroy the machinery inside", and cited nuclear weapons expert [[Richard Nephew]] who said, "Uncontrolled vibration{{nbsp}}... is a centrifuge killer". Former IAEA inspector and [[Institute for Science and International Security]] founder [[David Albright]] told ''The Economist'' that destroying Fordow's ventilation shaft could disable the site for "a few years rather than a few months", and a weapons expert told ''The Economist'' that images after the strikes suggested the US may have targeted Fordow's ventilation.<ref name="economist" />

[[Ray Takeyh]], a senior fellow at the [[Council on Foreign Relations]], called the strikes "a new phase, and a potentially problematic one," and said that Iran "would have to essentially restore pride in some way," potentially by launching attacks on American military sites or proxies.<ref name="Nagourney" /> [[Karim Sadjadpour]], a senior fellow at the [[Carnegie Endowment for International Peace]], noted, "This is more likely to open a new chapter of the 46-year-old US–Iran war than conclude it", that most of the retaliatory options available to Iran are the "equivalent of a suicide bombing", and "this is a traumatic, humiliating event" for the Iranian population, leaving it unclear exactly how Iran will respond.<ref>{{Cite news |date=June 21, 2025 |title=Trump Bombs Iran: Live Updates |url=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/us-bombs-iran-war-israel-live-updates.html |access-date=June 22, 2025 |website=Intelligencer ([[New York (magazine)|New York]]) |language=en}}</ref>
Jonathan Panikoff, the director of the Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative at the [[Atlantic Council]], warned that Iran might respond disproportionally to restore deterrence, stating, "you're looking at a significant escalatory spiral that could get out of hand quickly."<ref name="Nagourney" />
[[NBC News]] correspondent Matt Bradley said on [[MSNBC]] that Trump may not expect a large reaction from Iran, given the general lack of response after the [[assassination of Qasem Soleimani]] in 2020.

A [[CNN]] analyst noted that the United States may still attack further targets given that there "is a real concern that now the Iranians will retaliate", and suggested that Iran could attack U.S. bases in [[Qatar]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Saudi Arabia]], and [[Bahrain]], and potentially close the [[Strait of Hormuz]].<ref name="Brennan 20250621" />
''[[The Economist]]'' reported, "even if America did not reach all parts of the Fordow complex, the powerful blasts might have done enough to damage or destroy the machinery inside", and cited nuclear weapons expert [[Richard Nephew]] who said, "Uncontrolled vibration{{nbsp}}... is a centrifuge killer". Former IAEA inspector and [[Institute for Science and International Security]] founder [[David Albright]] told ''The Economist'' that destroying Fordow's ventilation shaft could disable the site for "a few years rather than a few months", and a weapons expert told ''The Economist'' that images after the strikes suggested the US may have targeted Fordow's ventilation.<ref name="economist" />
