President Donald Trump vetoed a plan presented to the U.S. in recent days to kill Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter.
I have a hard time believing they didn't know of and weren't complicit in the attack on Iran. They just diverted an arms shipment from Ukraine to Israel that specifically are claimed to counter Iranian drones
Edit: I saw it was to Israel on the BBC I think, but this article says otherwise
While true, i think that in this particular case it is more that reason prevailed. If Israel just goes out assassinating foreign head of states and the US supports that, it will be open season quickly and a very good way of starting world war 3.
The thing that probably scared Turnip is not WWIII but rather the idea that free for all assassinations would mean that he would be one of the first to get shot at.
I really think that's just all it is. Trump just loves the idea of Kings and dictators. He doesn't like the idea of them dying cuz well they're what he aspires to be.
At this point Khamenei at his age would probably prefer actual martyrdom over being these idiot's bargaining chip and a prop for their demented shows pretending to be reasonable if it ever got to that point.
