Scoop: Trump Stalled Israel's Plan for Khamenei Hit
Trump reportedly turned down Israel's proposal to carry out an assassination on Ayatollah Khamenei. - U.S. legislator alleges Trump nixed proposal aimed at assassinating Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei
Whew, buckle up folks! Let's dive into some hot goss about the Northeastern deserts and the whole shebang.
You remember Donald Trump, right? The guy with the golden towers and the colossal coif, yeah, him. Well, according to that juicy report from CBS News and Axios, Trump wasn't feelin' so hot about an Israeli notion to whack Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Not keen on the idea, our former U.S. President was all about keeping peace and reviving those pesky nuclear talks with Iran. Sources close to the conversation suggest that Trump expressed these concerns to his good ol' buddy, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (sounds like a movie, doesn't it?).
Say what now? Israel's national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi is on record saying that there's no intention to off Ayatollah Khamenei or his crew. But things can change quicker than Kim Kardashian's Instagram fame, so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled.
While we're here discussing the Middle Eastern cat-and-mouse game, let's throw Netanyahu under the spotlight. On Friday, he and his pals were dropping bombs on Iranian targets left, right, and center. We're talking nuclear and military facilities. The results? Iran's army chief, Mohammed Bagheri, and the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Hussein Salami, bit the dust, alongside nearly the entire leadership of the Revolutionary Guards' air force. And from the horse's mouth, Netanyahu announced the death of the chief of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence service, too.
Iran, not one to back down, started flinging drones and missiles at Israel that very same Friday. Bloody Sunday saw both sides going ham on each other, taking casualties left and right. The violence continued into Monday for the third day in a row. Just like a never-ending telanovela, huh?
Now, Israeli and Iranian relations have been about as smooth as a cheese grater since the beginning of time—or at least since the Gulf War. But this latest round of violence has been intense to say the least. Stay tuned for updates on this rollercoaster of international relations, folks!
