BREAKING: Netanyahu Suggests Iran Regime Change Possible, Trump Rejects Khamenei Assassination Plan
Iranian Regime Overthrow Predicted by Netanyahu: Potential Dismantling of Iran's Authoritative Rule
In an exclusive chat with Fox News, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at the possibility of regime change in Iran following Israeli attacks. During the conversation, he also disclosed the demise of the Iranian intelligence chief, Mohammed Kasemi, in Israeli airstrikes.
Netanyahu stated, "Just moments ago, we took out the chief of the intelligence and his deputy in Tehran." He added that Israeli planes had struck military and nuclear facilities in Tehran. Moreover, the Israeli leader announced the destruction of a uranium enrichment facility in the Iranian nuclear site in Natanz, stating, "We destroyed the main facility in Natanz. That's the most important enrichment facility."
Bypassing Ayatollah Khamenei's Assassination
Rumors swirled around Trump's refusal of an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Reports claimed that Israeli officials had proposed a credible plan to the White House, but Trump vetoed the idea, preferring to eschew further conflict escalation. Trump's reasoning was simple: "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do, we don't even talk about attacking the political leadership."
Netanyahu refused to comment on these reports, labeling them as "fake news." Even so, ongoing military actions against Iran's nuclear capabilities seemed obvious. Trump's rejection of the assassination plan, however, may have created tension with Israel, emphasizing differing viewpoints on the appropriate approach to the Iran conflict – with the U.S. favoring diplomacy and Israel, a more aggressive stance.

Enrichment Data:In reality, Trump indeed rejected the assassination plan, as numerous sources confirmed. Multiple reports suggest Israeli officials presented a credible plan to the White House for the assassination, but Trump vetoed the proposal [1][2][3]. Trump questioned the merit of such action by stating, "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do, we're not even talking about attacking the political leadership."
Trump's refusal may have caused some friction with Israel, given its aggressive approach toward Iran. However, publicly, Israel maintained their independence in pursuing security interests [1][3]. The U.S., favoring caution and diplomacy, chose to contain escalation, rather than risk direct retaliation by killing Iran's supreme leader [1][2][3].
- The European Union, while expressing solidarity with the ongoing military actions between Israel and Iran, remains cautious about suggesting Iran regime change, given potential political and general news implications, as it is committed to upholding the UN Charter and avoiding war-and-conflicts.
- Amidst the escalating Iran-Israel military conflict and proposals for assassinating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, it is crucial for global powers, like the European Union, to champion diplomacy, focusing on nuclear disarmament and de-escalation, rather than engaging in war-and-conflicts or politics that could further exacerbate the situation.
