President Trump VETEOS Israel’s Plan To Assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

Can someone just give President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize already?

A breaking report has revealed that President Trump poured water on Israel’s government plan to kill Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The move by Trump has possibly saved the Middle East from an all-out war between Iran and Israel.

Here’s what the Jerusalem Post reported:

US President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei since Operation Rising Lion began, two unidentified US officials told Reuters on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Trump stated that “it’s possible we could get involved” in the military escalation between Israel and Iran during an interview with ABC News the same day.

During Trump’s comments, he reiterated that the US is “not at this moment involved” in the conflict.

Trump also remains open to Russian President Vladimir Putin taking a role as a mediator between Jerusalem and Tehran, saying, “He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it.”

This followed a 50-minute phone conversation between Trump and Putin on Saturday, with Trump saying on Truth Social that Putin feels, as he does, that the war between Israel and Iran should end.

Kremlin insider Kirill Dmitriev said that he believed Russia could play a “key role” in mediations between Iran and Israel, Russia’s state news agency TASS reported.

Despite Reuters and CBS confirming the report, an advisor to Netanyahu has denied the report:

Israel’s national security advisor says it’s “fake news” that Trump vetoed the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei, as @reuters reported.

CBS News had more to report:

The Israelis had the opportunity to assassinate Khamenei and Mr. Trump conveyed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that it wasn’t a good idea, one U.S. official told CBS News. They said the conversation between Netanyahu and Mr. Trump happened since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran last week.

Mr. Trump’s rejection of the proposal was first reported by Reuters.

A senior U.S. official told CBS News on Saturday that there has been no direct contact between the U.S. and Iran. An Israeli official in Washington, D.C., told CBS News on Saturday that there is regular contact between the U.S. and Israel, with leaders having spoken Monday, Thursday and Friday.

During an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Netanyahu did not directly confirm or deny Reuters’ reporting when asked about it.
