Israel’s unprecedented attacks on Iran had at their core an elusive and high-risk goal: eradicating the country’s controversial nuclear program.

President Donald Trump told ABC News that "it's possible we could get involved" in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The president made the comments to ABC News' Rachel Scott. He also reiterated that the U.S. is "not at this moment involved" in the conflict.

The Israeli military said it killed nine senior scientists and experts who played a role in Iran’s nuclear program in strikes Friday. Israel says Iran intends to build a nuclear weapon, and is quite close to being able to.
