Caption: Trump Opposed Israeli Plan to Kill Iran's Supreme Leader Amid Rising Israel–Iran Strikes. U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly blocked a secret Israeli proposal to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to CNN, U.S. officials said Trump told Israel the idea was "not a good idea," and the plan was dropped. This tension arose amid a fierce exchange of attacks—Israel launched a massive air campaign (Operation Rising Lion) targeting over 100 Iranian military and nuclear sites. Iran responded with missiles and drones, killing civilians in Israel and Iran alike. Netanyahu has refused to confirm or deny the assassination report. U.S. officials emphasize that America has so far provided defensive support—helping intercept Iranian missiles—but remains wary of deeper involvement. Trump publicly urged Iran and Israel to negotiate, warning Iran that any attack on U.S. assets would trigger "unseen" military retaliation.
