Trump opposed Israeli plan to target Khamenei - Axios
US President Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, Axios reported, citing US officials.
The Israeli army believed they had a window to carry out the strike, but Trump rejected it.
While the White House continues to support Israel’s goals of dismantling Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, it does not back a broader effort to topple the Islamic Republic by force, according to the report.
The official added that Trump could still “swoop in and do some gigantic action.”
