Trump blocked 'Israeli' plan to assassinate Khamenei, officials say
As 'Israeli' and Iranian military exchanges intensify, a new report alleges that US President Donald Trump recently intervened to block an 'Israeli' plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The revelation comes as both nations issue increasingly stark warnings and carry out devastating strikes.
Two US officials, speaking to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, claimed that President Trump had vetoed the 'Israeli' proposal. "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," one senior administration official was quoted as saying, outlining a clear precondition for any direct US involvement in targeting Iranian leadership.
President Trump, while warning Tehran against striking any American targets, asserted that the escalating conflict "could be ended easily."
However, top 'Israeli' officials have vehemently denied the report. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when questioned by Fox News about the alleged plan, dismissed it as one of "so many false reports of conversations that never happened."
Echoing this denial, 'Israel's' Head of the National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, labeled the claims "false" and delivered a chilling message to Tehran. "There is no immunity for political leaders," Hanegbi stated to Israeli media, adding, "If I were an Iranian living in Tehran, I’d have packed my bags and fled. That city will be under painful, sustained strikes."
Hanegbi underscored 'Israel's' commitment to its military campaign, stating that operations would continue until all perceived threats from Iran are neutralized. "I don’t believe Iran is anywhere near raising the white flag," he remarked, dismissing any immediate prospects for de-escalation.
