US told Israel President Trump opposed to plan to kill Iranian supreme leader
The U.S. communicated to the Israelis that President Trump is opposed to a plan to kill Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, adding that Iran has not killed an American and discussions of killing political leaders should not be on the table, according to a U.S. official.
The U.S. is not considering joining the war with Iran to eliminate its nuclear program, according to another U.S. official.
Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter, speaking Sunday to ABC News' "This Week," declined to rule out that Khamenei was a potential Israeli target, saying that "nobody who is threatening the destruction of Israel should be off the target list.”
