Trump said US was aware of Israel’s plans to attack Iran, WSJ reports
- On June 12, 2025, Israel launched military strikes on Iranian nuclear and missile facilities despite U.S. President Donald Trump's public opposition and efforts to delay the attacks.
- The strikes followed escalating tensions and a 60-day ultimatum Trump gave Iran in March to negotiate a nuclear agreement, with recent talks beginning April 12 nearing a deal.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Israel acted unilaterally and the U.S. prioritized protecting American forces while confirming military aid against Iranian missile attacks on Israel.
- Trump said, "I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there," and praised the strikes as "excellent" despite downplaying an imminent attack earlier.
- The strikes intensified the Israel-Iran conflict, increasing regional instability, spurring Iranian drone retaliation, and causing global market uncertainty, though Trump expressed hope a nuclear deal remains possible.
