Iran had promised to retaliate for Saturday's US strike on its nuclear facilities - and now it has.

According to early reports, all the Iranian missiles directed at the massive US base in Qatar were intercepted and there were no American casualties or damage.

US media reports, however, that Iranian officials have said that this salvo was not the end of their nation's response.

During his address to the nation on Saturday night, President Donald Trump warned that there would be an overwhelming answer to any Iranian attacks on US interests. He promised that there were more targets that could be struck by American forces.

For more than 24 hours, the world waited to see what Iran would do. Once Iran had acted, attention swung back to the US president and, after a few hours, he had his say.
