AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
President Donald Trump confirmed Friday that the United States was fully aware of Israel's plans to launch airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites and top officials, dismissing the suggestion that Israel had only given him a "heads-up."
"Heads-up? It wasn't a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on," Trump told the Wall Street Journal in an interview, adding that he talked with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and will speak with Netanyahu again on Friday. Trump administration officials said the United States was not directly involved in the Israeli offensive.
