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.
