US-Israel plan to assassinate Iran’s Khamenei

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was assassinated in US and Israeli air strikes after more than three decades in power. Khamenei led Iran through the Islamic revolution and served as president before becoming supreme leader in 1989. His reign was marked by mass protests, human rights violations, and economic hardships, with recent protests violently suppressed. Khamenei was killed along with top military officials in the strikes, which targeted a meeting in Tehran. The US and Israel were able to pinpoint Khamenei’s location through a combination of intelligence gathering methods. Israel had been monitoring his circle for years, gathering information on his movements. Despite previous opportunities to assassinate Khamenei, President Trump rejected plans due to fears of wider conflict.
