CLAIM THAT TRUMP INTERVENED DENIED

Recently, it was claimed that Israel's plans against Khamenei were vetoed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

A U.S. official claimed, "President Trump openly opposed the possibility of Israel assassinating Iranian leader Khamenei." The unnamed U.S. official stated, "Iranians did not kill an American, and the assassination of political leaders should not even be on the table."

This claim was personally denied by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
