President Donald Trump's eventful week included securing a preliminary trade deal with China, deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles, and responding to Israel's strikes on Iran.

When President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Thursday, the Israeli leader told Trump that it was the last day of his 60-day timeline for Iran to make a deal. Israel could wait no longer, Netanyahu said,

Trump claimed on the 2024 campaign trail that the world was on the brink of World War III—but that he would prevent it. He also vowed to end the war in Ukraine after Russia invaded in 2022 and bring peace to the Middle East, but he has struggled to make good on his promises.

President Trump joked that Iranian officials killed in Israel's airstrike clearly did not die of an illness, warning that Iran should have heeded his warning.

"This confrontation will not end with last night's limited actions and Iran's strikes will continue, and this action will be very painful and regrettable for the aggressors," Fars reported, citing senior military officials.
