Trump Opposes Plan to Kill Iranian Supreme Leader, Israel-Iran Conflict Intensifies
The U.S. has conveyed to Israeli officials that President Trump is against a proposed plan to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Despite escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Iran has not targeted any Americans. President Trump expressed his desire for a peaceful resolution as he traveled to Canada for a meeting of world leaders where the conflict is a top priority.
Iran and Israel have engaged in a new series of attacks, entering the fourth day of intense conflict. Iran claims to have launched approximately 100 missiles and threatens further action. However, President Trump has rejected the assassination plan proposed by Israel, highlighting his commitment to diplomacy over violence.
In response to the escalating conflict, Iran has imposed restrictions on internet access and cautioned against pro-Israel social media content. Human rights organizations have reported casualties due to Israeli attacks in the region, further fueling the tensions between the two nations.
The situation intensified as Iran launched a second wave of missile strikes on Israel, triggering sirens and explosions in prominent cities like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy criticized Israel’s attacks, warning that they could jeopardize ongoing negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran, potentially leading to a broader regional conflict.
As the conflict continues to escalate, both Israel and Iran exchanged fresh attacks overnight, with President Trump asserting that the dispute could be resolved swiftly, while cautioning Tehran. Israel’s defense minister issued a stern warning to Tehran, indicating that the repercussions of the conflict would soon be felt by the residents of the Iranian capital.
