President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is "not happy" with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges. Trump said Iran and Israel both "violated" the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday.

Through last week, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have only set Tehran's nuclear program back by months.

DOJ has 'countless' open cases of threats to US homeland, Bondi says

The Justice Department currently has "countless" open investigations into threats to the U.S. homeland, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday in testimony to lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee.

When asked about the presence of potential Iranian "sleeper cells" being activated in the U.S. in the wake of the military's strikes on Iran's nuclear program, Bondi said she couldn't answer such a question in an unclassified setting.

"I can't talk about that in this setting but what I can tell you is I know Homeland Security, I know the FBI -- they are focusing on doing everything we can to keep our nation safe, and they will continue to do that," Bondi answered. "Yeah, it's a frightening time in which we live right now, but President Trump is committed to keeping all Americans safe, and we look forward to working with you on that."

Bondi further confirmed that the department believes "well over 1,000" Iranian nationals entered the country illegally over the "last several years" and the department is on "high alert" regarding any potential illegal activity by those in the U.S.

No other attacks on US bases in Middle East

No other U.S. bases in the Middle East have been attacked besides Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, according to a U.S. official.

There are no reports of any damage to Al Udeid at this time, the official said.

While Iran is claiming it fired 14 missiles -- the same number of Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs used by the U.S. in this weekend’s attack on Iran -- the official said the U.S. is still determining how many missiles were fired by Iran today.
