On June 13, according to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Trump stated that he and his team were aware in advance of Israel's plan to attack Iran. In a brief phone interview on Friday morning, when asked what kind of warning the U.S. received before the attack, Trump said, "Warning? This wasn't a warning. We knew what was happening. I spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Thursday and planned to speak with him again on Friday. The attack will benefit the markets, as Iran will not be able to obtain nuclear weapons."
