President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told ABC News.
The officials stated that Israel shared with the United States that they had a window to kill Iran’s leader but the president was not on board with the plan.
It’s unclear if Trump conveyed the message directly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Reuters was the first to report the news.
Netanyahu was asked about the Reuters report in an interview on Sunday with Fox News.
“There’s so many false reports of conversations that never happened and I’m not going to get into that. But I can tell you I think we do what we need to do, we’ll do what we need to do and the United States knows what is good for the United States and I’m just not going to get into it all that,” Netanyahu stated.
The White House declined to comment on the report.
