Trump Blocked Israeli Plot to Assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader
So here’s what’s just come out—and it’s huge. According to reports from multiple U.S. officials speaking to CBS News and echoed by other sources, former President Donald Trump flat-out rejected a plan proposed by Israel to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This wasn’t just some distant hypothetical—it was reportedly discussed recently, after Israel launched a military strike on Iran. The conversation, we’re told, happened directly between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Now, let that sink in. Israel, in the middle of an escalating conflict, was seriously considering taking out the most powerful political and religious figure in Iran—Khamenei himself. This would have been a game-changer. But Trump said no. Not because he doesn’t support Israel—he’s repeatedly affirmed that—but because he believed the assassination was, in his words, “not a good idea.”

Netanyahu didn’t directly confirm or deny this in a recent interview with Fox News. He brushed it off, saying there are many reports of conversations that never happened and that he wasn’t going to dive into details. But he did hint at Israel’s independence in decision-making, saying: “We do what we need to do.” Meanwhile, an Israeli official speaking to CBS clarified that Israel, “in principle,” avoids targeting political leaders and focuses on nuclear and military decision-makers instead.
The back-and-forth between Israel and Iran has now entered its third day, with airstrikes pounding both sides. And while Trump has claimed that the U.S. had no part in Israel’s actions, he’s also issued a stark warning to Iran: attack the U.S. in any way, and face unprecedented military force.
But here’s the twist—Trump also called for diplomacy. He said Iran and Israel should “make a deal,” claiming he could broker peace just as he did between India and Pakistan. And yet, behind the scenes, the next round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks has been canceled. Iran isn’t budging on a ceasefire while Israeli missiles are still in the sky.
This whole situation reveals something critical. Trump—despite his image as unpredictable and aggressive—drew a line. Assassinating a nation’s supreme leader, especially one as symbolic as Khamenei, would have ignited a war on a whole new scale. It’s not just a military decision; it’s a geopolitical trigger that could engulf the entire region.
So while world leaders posture and missiles fly, this story reminds us how close we may have come to something far worse. Sometimes, it's not the loudest action but the restraint behind closed doors that shapes the future.
