U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly vetoed an Israeli proposal to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to two American officials speaking to Reuters. A senior U.S. official stated the move was halted because Iran had not yet attacked American targets, saying, “Until they do, we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership.” The revelation comes amid heightened U.S.-Israel coordination following Israeli strikes aimed at Iran’s nuclear program. Israeli officials had informed Washington of an opportunity to eliminate Khamenei, but the plan was ultimately declined. While it’s unclear if Trump personally conveyed the decision, sources confirm his ongoing communication with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the escalating crisis.
