Trump said US was aware of Israel’s plans to attack Iran, WSJ reports

On June 12, 2025, Israel launched strikes against Iran following a 60-day ultimatum given by U.S. President Donald Trump after talks began on April 12.
Trump tried to delay Israel's attacks to allow ongoing negotiations to restrict Iran's nuclear ambitions but was ultimately aware and unable to prevent the strikes.
The strikes targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites, causing significant fatalities and eliciting retaliatory drone attacks by Iran against Israel.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Israel acted unilaterally with U.S. distancing itself from direct involvement, while Trump emphasized protecting American personnel and praised Israel's actions.
The escalation heightened fears of a wider war, impacted global markets, and placed pressure on Iran to negotiate seriously, though the conflict's outcome remains uncertain.
