US EditionTrump vetoed Israeli plan to kill Iran's supreme leader: Report
- In mid-June 2025, President Donald Trump declined an Israeli proposal that involved targeting Iran’s top religious and political figure, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, despite Israel presenting a well-developed plan.
- The plan emerged amid escalating Israel-Iran conflicts, after Israel carried out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, and the U.S. sought to avoid broader regional war.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the development during a June 15 Fox News interview, stating Iran marked Trump as "enemy number one" and actively sought to assassinate him.
- Trump warned that any Iranian attack on the United States would be met with an unprecedented and overwhelming military response, while also expressing optimism that Israel and Iran would soon reach a peace agreement.
- The veto suggests Trump aims to prevent further escalation while pushing for diplomacy, amid U.S. efforts to de-escalate regional tensions ahead of the Group of Seven summit in Canada.
