Trump vetoed Israeli plan to kill Iran's supreme leader: Report

IRAN, JUN 16 – President Trump blocked Israel's plan fearing it would trigger a wider regional war and disrupt US-Iran nuclear talks amid over 400 casualties from recent Israeli strikes, officials said.

  • Last weekend, Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, cited by officials and reported by Reuters.
  • Trump's decision to veto the Israeli plan was driven by fears of regional war and efforts to protect ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations.
  • According to Reuters and US officials, Israeli intelligence developed a credible plan to kill Khamenei, which Trump reviewed but ultimately vetoed to prevent regional escalation.
  • Trump vetoed Israel's plan to kill Khamenei to prevent regional escalation and protect nuclear negotiations, with talks canceled after Israeli strikes, narrowing diplomatic options.
  • Looking ahead, diplomatic talks are increasingly unlikely as the window narrows, raising concerns over the potential for a broader regional war.
