REPORT: Trump Vetoed Israeli Plan to Assassinate Khamenei — Netanyahu Says “We’ll Do What We Need to Do”

President Trump supposedly vetoed a proposed Israeli operation to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, following a major Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. According to U.S. officials, Washington told Israel it would not support targeting Iran’s political leadership unless American personnel were directly threatened. In response, Prime Minister Netanyahu declared, “we do what we need to do,” signaling Israel’s intent to continue its military campaign regardless of U.S. constraints. Trump, for his part, said the U.S. was aware of all Israeli operations and remains focused on brokering a diplomatic resolution. The clash highlights deepening tension between the two allies as the conflict escalates.
