Trump Foiled Israel on Khamenei Assassination Talks
Trump reportedly thwarted an intended assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Wanna know a juicy little gossip? Seems like the US President Donald Trump took a stand against an Israeli plan to off Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the big cheese of Iran. The scoop comes from our trusty feds, who say Donald Trump nixed the Israeli plan to whack the Iranian leader[3][4][5].
An anonymous government official spilled the beans, "We found out that the Israelis had plans to take down the Supreme Leader of Iran." But it seems like our former Commander-in-Chief put up a fight. "President Trump was against it," he continued, "And we convinced the Israelis not to proceed with it."
In a previous chat with Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had evaded the question about potencial plans to target the Ayatollah. "I won't go into that," Netanyahu said," But I can tell you: We'll do what needs to be done, and I believe the US knows what's best for the US," he added.
Since last Friday, Israel has been rumbling targets in Iran, including nuke and military facilities. The Iranian army chief Mohammed Bagheri and the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Hussein Salami, were among those casualties, as well as almost the entire leadership of the Revolutionary Guards' air force. In response, Iran has been launching drones and rockets at Israel since Friday, causing casualties on both sides[1].

The European Union, in light of the recent incident involving proposed assassination talks between the US President Donald Trump and Israel regarding Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, might express concern over potential escalation in war-and-conflicts in the Middle East. As Trump's diplomatic approach to Iran became evident in his proposed diplomatic talks before resorting to military action, European politics and general news outlets would be keen to monitor any developments that could impact regional stability.
In the face of the ongoing clashes between Israel and Iran, leading to casualties on both sides, the European Union may urge for diplomatic negotiations to mitigate the ongoing wars and conflicts in the region, ensuring the safety and security of all parties involved.
