Trump reportedly blocked Israeli plot to assassinate Khamenei amid escalating tensions

President Trump reportedly opposed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This conversation supposedly occurred after Israel launched a significant attack on Iran last week.
