71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says

The June 23 strike targeted the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran.

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.

Iran gave advanced noticed of attacks through Qatar: Sources

Iranian officials gave advanced noticed of the retaliatory attacks -- a message that was delivered through Qatar to the United States, multiple sources confirmed to ABC News.

It's unclear when the message was delivered to the U.S., but it was sent with enough time for the U.S. to anticipate the attack, sources said.

President Donald Trump thanked Iran on Truth Social, writing, "I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured."

No Americans hurt, 'hardly any damage was done' at US base: Trump

No Americans were hurt and "hardly any damage was done" by Iran’s "very weak" and "expected" missile attack on the United States’ Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that the attack was "very effectively countered."

Trump also said no Qataris were killed or hurt.

Trump said Iran fired 14 missiles. He said "13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction." A U.S. official confirmed that 13 of the 14 Iranian missiles were intercepted by the U.S. and Qatar, and the 14th did not end up in Qatar. The official also confirmed that little damage was done.

Trump said Iran has "gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE."

"I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured," Trump continued. "Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same."

In a separate post, Trump wrote, "CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!"
