The answer could define the region for decades to come and could be the final arbiter of US President Donald Trump's decision to engage in a new conflict in the Middle East, according to an analysis published by CNN.

According to the source cited, it is likely that Saturday night's strikes did not destroy everything. The fight will now consist of tracking down what is left.

What will remain in the wake of the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities? What parts of the Iranian program that were previously unknown – if any – will likely remain. Tehran may decide that it would be best to reveal or make progress on this big secret only after the threat of Israeli attacks has receded.

Before the US attacks, Iranian officials suggested they might be willing to give up uranium enrichment during talks last week. The demands could now focus on its ballistic missile program.

On Saturday night, Donald Trump sent a message regarding the US strikes."We have successfully completed the attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. All aircraft are now out of Iranian airspace. A full load of BOMBS was dropped on the main site, Fordow. All aircraft are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other military in the world could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," the US president wrote on the Truth Social platform.
