Israel-Iran Sangharsh: Trump vetoed Israel’s plan to kill Iran’s silence, reports of claims; Asked, ‘Have they killed an American?’

President Donald Trump recently blocked an Israeli scheme to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to two US officials who spoke to Reuters. The officials, while talking on the condition of anonymity, said that Israeli forces had identified a window to kill Khameni as part of their expansion military campaign against Iran, but Trump intervened. A senior US administration official said, “Has the Iranians killed an American yet? No, until they do it that we are not talking even after political leadership.”During the ongoing attacks, Trump has been in constant touch with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. When asked about the report during an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu replied, “There are many false reports of conversation that have never happened, and I will not go into it. But I can tell you, I think we do what we need to do, we will do what we need to do. And I think the United States knows what is good for the United States.,Earlier, a senior Israeli official told The Wall Street Journal that “was not far from the border” to target Khameni “and indicated that Israel was transferring only to strike under Iran’s leadership by focusing on nuclear sites. Israel has already claimed the responsibility of killing nine nuclear scientists and several top military officers under ‘Operation Rising Lion’. Such a strike allegedly led to a structural collapse in Iran’s Natanz enrichment facility.The tight-for-tat conflict has increased rapidly. Under ‘Operation True Promise III’, Iran’s latest missile barrage triggered Air Red Siren in Israel including Tel Aviv. In vengeance, Israeli jets attacked prominent places in Tehran. Supreme leader Khamenei announced at a television address: “We will not allow them to avoid the results for this important wrongdoing.”While stress increases, Trump has maintained a cautious stance, urging restraint. “We knew everything” about Israeli attacks, he told Reuters on Friday. He has also repeatedly emphasized the need for diplomacy, writing on social media, “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and be a deal.” Trump has pointed to his role in increasing the India-Pakistan struggle as a proof of his diplomatic credit.However, this balance act is testing Trump’s foreign policy promises. A colleagues like Tucker Carlson and Senator Rand Paul have urged him to keep the US out of the struggle. “This is not America’s job to join this war,” said Paul.
