Israel-Iran updates: Iran launches more missiles at Israel, sirens sound in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem

President Trump spoke to Fox News' Bret Baier via phone after the Israeli strikes on Tehran and said that his administration was aware of the strikes but was not involved militarily, and that he hopes Iran will return to negotiate a deal.

“Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table. We will see. There are several people in leadership that will not be coming back," Trump told Baier.

In a statement early Friday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement calling the strikes "successful."

Translated from Hebrew, Netanyahu said, "We are after a very successful opening strike. With God's help, we are going to have many more achievements."

Top House Republican leaders are voicing support for Israel’s strikes on Iran.

Speaker Mike Johnson posted an Israeli flag on X and said, "Israel IS right—and has a right—to defend itself!

Majority Leader Steve Scalise said he stands with Israel.

"Iran has refused to dismantle its nuclear program, which puts America at risk and poses an existential threat to Israel. Tonight Israel is taking action to defend itself, and we stand with Israel. Our prayers are with them and all American personnel in the region," Scalise said in a post on X.

Echoing Trump administration officials, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said the U.S. was not involved in the strikes.

"The U.S. was not involved in the strikes, but our forces stand ready to defend themselves and our ally Israel," Rogers said in a statement.

The head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Hossein Salami was killed in Israeli strikes on Iran, Iranian state TV reports.

Also killed was Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi, former head of the Atomic Energy Organization, according to Iranian state TV.

Israel has not confirmed the deaths.

A senior security official said, "There is a growing likelihood that the Iranian General Staff, including the Iranian Chief of Staff, and senior nuclear scientists were eliminated in the opening blow."
