Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Monday, marking a fourth day of strikes following Israel's Friday attack. That surprise strike hit the heart of Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.

The U.S. did not provide any military assistance or have any involvement in Israel's Friday strike, a U.S. official told ABC News. President Donald Trump told ABC News on Sunday, "It's possible we could get involved."

US provided 'exquisite' intel to Israel

The U.S. did not play a military role in Israel's attack on Iran as Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed, but it provided "exquisite" intel and will help defend Israel if needed -- especially against ballistic missiles that are expected to be launched from Iran, according to a U.S source familiar with the intel on the strike.

The U.S. did have advance notice of the strikes and they will continue and be very intense over the next few days, the source said.

Iranian enrichment site impacted in attack, IAEA says

Iran's Natanz enrichment site has been impacted by Israeli attacks, however, there are no elevated radiation levels. The Esfahan and Fordow sites have not been impacted, Iranian officials have confirmed to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"This development is deeply concerning. I have repeatedly stated that nuclear facilities must never be attacked, regardless of the context or circumstances, as it could harm both people and the environment. Such attacks have serious implications for nuclear safety, security and safeguards, as well as regional and international peace and security," IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement Friday.

"The IAEA has consistently underlined that 'armed attacks on nuclear facilities could result in radioactive releases with grave consequences within and beyond the boundaries of the State which has been attacked,'" Grossi said, citing a general conference resolution.

The IAEA is ready to provide technical assistance and ensure the protection of nuclear facilities, Grossi said.

"IAEA continues to monitor the situation closely, stands ready to provide technical assistance, and remains committed to its nuclear safety, security and safeguards mandate in all circumstances," Grossi said.

Speaker says Iran will face 'grave consequences' if it targets US interests

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson issued a warning to Iran on Friday, saying it will face grave consequences if it targets U.S. interests.

"Israel and the United States have been united, including in our shared insistence that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon. President Trump and his Administration have worked tirelessly to ensure that outcome. Unfortunately, Iran has refused to agree and even declared yesterday its intent to build a new enrichment facility," Johnson said in a statement.

"Israel decided it needed to take action to defend itself. They were clearly within their right to do so," Johnson said.
