Trump Acknowledges US Awareness of Israel's Iran Attack Plans
(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he and his team had known about Israel's plans to attack Iran.
The Wall Street Journal said that, when asked what kind of a heads-up the United States received before the attack, Trump said in a brief phone interview: "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on."
Trump said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and planned to speak with him again on Friday. Trump called the operation "a very successful attack, to put it mildly," the Wall Street Journal said.
