"Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate the Iranian supreme leader, US officials have claimed.

The US president opposed an operation to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two officials told Reuters.

One of the officials said: “Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do, we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership.”

Asked about the reports of Mr Trump’s veto during a Fox News interview, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, said: “There are so many false reports about conversations that never happened — I’m not going to get into it.”

There have been conflicting accounts about whether Mr Trump gave the green light to begin attacking Iran on Friday. He was told about the operation earlier in the week.

Mr Trump on Sunday called for a deal to be made between Israel and Iran, writing on his Truth Social platform: “We will have peace, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings are now taking place.”
