President Donald Trump told CNN in a brief phone call Friday morning that the United States “of course” supports Israel and called the country’s strikes on Iran overnight “a very successful attack,” while warning Iran to make a nuclear deal.

After decades of threats, Israel launched an audacious attack on Iran, targeting its nuclear sites, scientists and military leaders. Here’s what to know about its controversial nuclear program.

Israel launched Operation Rising Lion against Iran's nuclear facilities in the early hours of Friday morning, in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was "a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.

The military strikes jolted investors, raising concerns that a broader Mideast conflict would disrupt the world’s energy supplies.

Israel’s historic strike on Iran revealed years of Mossad activity inside the country, including hidden weapons, drones and assassinations of nuclear officials.

The statement said Putin, in his conversation with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu "stressed the importance of a return to the process of talks and resolution of all issues concerning Iran's nuclear programme strictly through political and diplomatic means". The Kremlin statement said Russia would remain in close contact with both Iran and Israel.

Iran slammed the International Atomic Energy Agency’s vote as politically motivated as the region gears up for a potential Israeli strike.
