The Israelis had the opportunity to assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Trump conveyed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that it wasn't a good idea, one U.S. official told CBS News.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, has disclosed a plan to assassinate the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, while responding to US position.

WASHINGTON: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday did not rule out plans to assassinate Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying it would "end the conflict" between the two arch-foes.

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.

CBS News New York's Dick Brennan has the latest on the conflict and what President Trump said Monday.

Khamenei has condemned the attacks and promised to retaliate, saying Israel had "sealed for itself a bitter and painful destiny."

President Donald Trump said the nation is not involved in Israel’s attacks on Iran – but it’s possible the U.S. could become more deeply entwined.
