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.

Earlier this month, the State Department issued a regional alert related to the conflict, advising Americans in North Africa and the Middle East to exercise increased caution.

In October 2023, the U.S. issued a similar worldwide caution alert stemming from the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and ensuing military campaign in Gaza.
