U.S. President Trump said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that he knew about Israel’s plan to strike Iran.
“It wasn’t a warning”
The president was asked on Friday what kind of warning the U.S. received prior to the attack and said: “It wasn’t a warning. We know what’s going on.”
Trump also said that a strike would be good for the markets, since Iran will not possess nuclear weapons. Later today, the U.S. president is expected to speak with Netanyahu about plans going forward.
As a reminder, earlier today the U.S. president responded for the first time and wrote on his social media platform: “We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it. They took a hard hit, a very hard one. And there will be more—much more.”
Trump also told the American network ABC that the Israeli strike in Iran “was excellent.”
