Saving the Spiritual Leader: Trump Thwarts Israeli Assassination Plot on Ayatollah Khamenei
Trump reportedly thwarted a planned assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
A shocking revelation has surfaced about a plot to eliminate Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, being foiled by none other than President Donald Trump. According to confidential government sources, Israel had plans to strike against Iran's top figure, but Trump was vigilant enough to halt the operation.
In a surprising turn of events, the White House blocked the Israeli attempt, citing diplomatic considerations and the potential escalation of tensions in the Middle East. An anonymous government official disclosed, "We discovered that the Israelis were planning an attack on Ayatollah Khamenei. President Trump vehemently opposed this, and we communicated the decision to the Israelis not to proceed with it."
Earlier, during an interview on Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu avoided answering directly about possible assassination plans against Khamenei. "I'm not going to go into that," he evaded, adding cryptically, "But let me tell you: We'll do what we need to do, and I believe the United States knows what's best for the United States."
Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi had previously alluded to the absence of plans to target Khamenei and his associates, stating, "Currently, there are no intentions to eliminate Ayatollah Khamenei or his affiliates."
Since Friday, the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran spilled over into violent exchanges, with Israel targeting military and nuclear facilities within Iran. The Revolutionary Guards' key personnel, including the army chief Mohammed Bagheri and head Hussein Salami, perished in the attacks, along with almost the entire command of the Revolutionary Guards' air force. On Sunday, Netanyahu announced the death of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence service head, Mohammed Kasemi, marking a deadly fifth day of the conflict for both nations.
In response, Iran has retaliated with drone and rocket attacks on Israel since Friday. The escalating violence has resulted in numerous casualties on both sides. Despite the ongoing hostilities, the fighting seem to continue on the third consecutive day.
