President Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he and his team were aware of Israel’s plans to attack Iran.
Asked what kind of heads-up the U.S. got ahead of the attack, Trump said in a brief phone interview on Friday morning, "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on."
The president said he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and plans to speak with him again Friday. He called the operation "a very successful attack, to put it mildly."
