Trump also stressed that “the United States are prepared to defend and defend Israel if I will answer it”
The United States said on Friday that Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, as justification for the attack launched this morning by Israel against Tehran, and warned that they are prepared to defend and defend Israel of retaliation.
“Iran cannot have the nuclear bomb and we hope to return to the negotiation table. We’ll see,” said US President Donald Trump after the attacks quoted by Fox News.

The statements of the president of the United States arise in countercurrent with the remaining international community that has already reacted and whose leaders have condemned the action of Israel and appealed to containment, dialogue and the bass of tension in the Middle East.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres appealed to Israel and Iran to “demonstrate the maximum containment.”
In a statement issued by a spokesman, Guterres condemned “any military climbing in the Middle East” and said he was “particularly concerned” about Israeli attacks.
Russia also expressed “concern” with those in Iran and condemned the “climbing” of the conflict, according to Kremlin.

Jordan, which borders Israel, has announced that it will not allow any violation of its airspace in the context of the conflict, with the National Civil Aviation Authority to close the airspace and the suspension of all flights as a precaution.
In turn, the Oman Sultanate, which has been acting as a mediator between the United States and Iran in the conversations of the Iranian nuclear program, has classified the Israeli attack as a “dangerous climb”, which “threatens to exclude diplomatic solutions and compromise the region’s safety and stability,” according to the country’s official news agency.
India has appealed to both parties to “avoid any climbing,” according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal, who pointed out there “channels for dialogue and diplomacy, and must be used.”
The Pakistan Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs “vehemently” condemned Israeli attacks and expressed their “solidarity” with Iran.
From the United Kingdom there are statements by British Prime Minister Keir Stmermer in a statement: “The report of attacks is worrying and we appeal to all parts to retire and urgently reduce tensions. Climbing is no one in the region.”
In Venezuela, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has classified the attacks as “a war crime,” which adds to the “long history of crimes of the regime” by Benjamin Netanyahu.
Japan Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwayaa also condemned “firmly this last action, which represents a climb,” adding that it is “extremely unfortunate that military measures have been taken” and exhorting “all parties involved in demonstrating the maximum containment”.
Iraq also condemned Israel’s “aggression” against Iran, considering that the offensive “threatens international security and peace,” according to an official statement by the Iraqi authorities.
China, France, Turkey, and Germany had previously reacted to Israeli bombing in Iranian territory, joining the choir of international criticism.
Israel’s army today attacked the capital of Iran at dawn, with the Israelite government claiming to target nuclear and military facilities.
Iranian official press confirmed the death of both the three military leaders and at least six nuclear scientists.
According to Iranian official news agencies, at least nine people died and a hundred were injured due to the attacks, and it is estimated that they are civilians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video message in which he stated: “Well, we made the first attacks successfully and, with God’s help, we will do much more,” he said.
The head of the Israeli government also said that the military operation launched against the “heart” of the Iranian nuclear program will last “the time it is necessary.”
The Iranian Armed Forces Staff spokesman has announced, in turn, that “Israel will pay a high price and must expect a firm response from the Iranian Armed Forces.”
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that the country has the “legal and legitimate law” to respond to attacks.
The Israeli onslaught began around 03:30 (01:00 in Lisbon), when strong explosions were heard in the Iranian capital, having spread to other areas of the country.
Shortly thereafter, they sounded anti -aircraft alarms throughout the territory of Israel, while the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced the launch of a “preventive attack” against Iran and that the alarms were intended to mobilize the Israelite population for a retaliation attack.
The army of Israel has announced that Iran has already launched more than 100 drones against Israeli territory and that “all defense systems are working to eliminate threats.”
