Israel’s strikes against the Iranian nuclear program and military leaders started an important war in the Middle East, sent oil prices and left many to wonder about what happened after that.

Here are five main areas for watching in the coming days:

How and where will Iran take revenge?

Iran sent drones to Israel in response to Friday morning, which were all intercepted. More attacks and traditional drones are expected. Earlier this week, Iranian leaders suggested that they target US military facilities in the region as well as Israel.

Iranians can also turn into an asymmetric war. In the past, Tehran has threatened to close or disrupt the Strait of Hormuz in the event of its attack. The main waterway from Iran is separated from the Gulf states, and through it approximately 30 percent of all oil exports transported through the world in the world.

The blame was also blamed in Iran in an attack on the oil fields in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to sabotage the tankers in the Gulf. While Israel is strongly weakened in the past 18 months, the so-called axis of resistance-including the Houthis in Yemen and God of God in Lebanon-is still the ability to cause a problem for Israel and its allies.

Will Iran’s nuclear talks continue with the United States?

The date of talks between the United States and Iran was set on Sunday. It is not clear whether any of the two sides will continue in negotiations.

The United States has publicly said it did not participate in the strikes, but the Iranian Foreign Minister had argued that the attacks could not have occurred without a green light from Washington.

Donald Trump said on Friday morning that Tehran was given a “opportunity after an opportunity” to reach an agreement. “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing,” said the US president.

What is the ultimate goal of Israel?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes had been launched to destroy the Iranian nuclear capabilities. But they also targeted Iranian military heads, barracks and missile facilities in a wave of attacks throughout the country.

Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon last year crowned the assassination of most of its supreme leadership. One of the major questions is whether the ultimate goal of Israel is to delight the Iranian regime, rather than just its nuclear program.

Does the international community have any influence?

More than ten world leaders are expected to meet at the 7 Group Summit in Canada on Sunday, including Trump. Israel and Iran may now lead the agenda.

The American president has the greatest influence on Israel, but there are no signs that the White House intends to restrain Netanyahu.

Canada, Britain and France are among a group of western countries that have become more critical of the Israeli war for 20 months against Hamas in Gaza. But their influence over Israel is limited. One of the tests will be whether these countries support any defense of Israel against Iranian revenge.

How will the war affect the oil market?

Brent crude, the international oil standard, jumped up to 12.5 percent in early trading on Friday, which is the largest jump one day since Russia has been widely invaded by Ukraine three years ago.

But the gains have slightly reduced the trading session, as Brent lasts 8 percent to about $ 74 a barrel.

The oil is likely to have an additional fear allowance for the situation more clear. Large fears will be a great loss of supplies through hormonal or an attack on Saudi Arabia, although the kingdom was quick to condemn the Israeli attack.
