Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Iran s supreme leader, US officials say

 


WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill the Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday.

“Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official.
