The Iranian government did not publicly respond to his remarks. The White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, said that Mr. Trump spoke on Sunday with the leaders of Bahrain, Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

The military said it had struck Iranian missile launchers, air defense systems, command centers and headquarters of the government, and missile launchers.
