US President Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate  Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, Axios reported, citing US officials, APA reports.

The Israeli army believed they had a window to carry out the strike, but Trump rejected it.

While the White House continues to support Israel’s goals of dismantling Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, it does not back a broader effort to topple the Islamic Republic by force, according to the report.

The official added that Trump could still “swoop in and do some gigantic action.”
