"US will defend itself and Israel" - Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed Friday that the United States was informed in advance of Israel’s military strikes on Iran but did not take part in the operation.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump emphasized that “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb,” adding that Washington still hopes to return to the negotiating table with Tehran. “We will see. There are several people in leadership that will not be coming back,” he said, hinting at the reported deaths of senior Iranian officials in the strikes.

According to him, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) is on high alert.

“The US will defend itself and Israel if Iran takes retaliatory action". Trumo added.
