Trump says US knew of Israel's plans to attack Iran

US President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that he was aware of Israel's plans to launch an attack on Tehran.

When asked by the WSJ whether the US had received a “heads-up” before the attack, Trump replied: "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on."

He described the attack as "very successful… to put it mildly".
