After the United States attacked three major nuclear facilities in Iran, Iran responded yesterday with a missile strike on a U.S. military base located in Qatar. At the time, it appeared that the conflict was about to escalate further. However, U.S. President Donald Trump has now announced on Truth Social that both Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete ceasefire, and the conflict is now moving towards resolution. Given the sequence of events, it seems possible that Iran’s missile attack on the U.S. base in Qatar may have been a pre-planned move, designed to offer Iran a face-saving exit from the situation—paving the way for a de-escalation and eventual end to the conflict.
