Trump commented on Israel's strikes against Iran

US President Donald Trump revealed that his administration was fully informed about Israel's plans to carry out military strikes against Iran.

In an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal, the American leader emphasized that he and his team "knew what was happening." Trump also mentioned a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that took place on June 12, and announced a new discussion planned for June 13.

The US President expressed confidence that Israel's military operation against Iran would have "the most positive impact" on global markets, as, in his opinion, it would prevent Tehran from gaining access to nuclear weapons.

"I think ultimately it will be great for the market because Iran won't have nuclear weapons. It will be wonderful for the market - and should have the most positive impact on it. Iran won't have nuclear weapons, which [would] pose a great threat to humanity," Trump stated in the interview with WSJ.
