And it appears to be quiet a hard hitting one. Which is interesting because many were claiming today Iran wasn’t going to answer the Israeli first strike. Those claiming that were mistaken.
And Trump, the peacemaker, is very clearly the war maker I’d fully anticipated he would be! There were reports that Bibi had left Israel, heading for Greece. This seems possible as Israel may have had intel that Iran would try to take to strike at the leadership.
Below are a bunch of links to different reports:
President Donald Trump told Reuters in a phone interview on Friday that he and his team had known the attacks were coming – and still saw room for an accord.
“We knew everything, and I tried to save Iran humiliation and death”Asked if the U.S. would support Israel against Iranian counterattacks, Trump said he supported Israel. He said he was not concerned about a regional war breaking out as a result of Israel’s strikes but did not elaborate.
“We’ve been very close to Israel. We’re their number one ally by far,” Trump told Reuters, adding, “We’ll see what happens.”
Later on Friday, two U.S. officials said the U.S. military had helped shoot down Iranian missiles headed toward Israel.
