Trump: We were aware of Israel's attack on Iran, but the U.S. was not involved

But it made it clear that the American Army did not play any role in the operation.

In a statement for Fox News, Trump said Iran should not be allowed to have a nuclear bomb.

There can't be a nuclear bomb and we hope to get back to the negotiating table. We'll see. There are some people in Iranian leadership who will not return”, Trump said, alluding to Israel's murder of several senior generals and scientists.

He also stressed that the last days had often talked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah.

We are willing to defend ourselves and Israel if Iran decides to retaliate. Central Command is in a state of high alert”, Trump said.

Meanwhile, Iran's leader, Ayatolah Ali Khamenei, warned revenge on Israel for the attack.

With this crime, the Zionist regime has imposed itself a bitter and painful fate, and will surely experience”, Khamenei said. /Periscopi/
