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.
