President Donald Trump rejected a plan presented by Israel to the U.S. to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. The Israelis informed the Trump administration in recent days that they had developed a credible plan to kill Khamenei.

Israeli PM Netanyahu compared Iran's nuclear program to cancer, vowing it must be "cut out." He said Israel will destroy Iran's nuclear, missile, and terror infrastructure, with US support. He also hinted the Iranian regime could collapse under pressure,

A White House official said President Trump had decided not to sign onto a statement drafted for Group of 7 allies that urges restraint from both Israel and Iran, which have been trading attacks for days.

Since Israel began its concerted attack on Iran on Friday, calls for regime change in Iran have grown louder – from hawks in the US Congress to Israeli officials and some Iranian activists abroad.

The Israel Defense Forces has released dramatic footage of its air force destroying two of Iran’s last remaining F-14 Tomcats — the iconic US fighter jets made famous by “Top Gun.” Aerial videos show the moment the two US-made jets are blown up in Israeli drone strikes on an airfield near Tehran.

While the U.S. insists it is not involved in strikes on Iran, American officials have confirmed military forces have been helping to intercept Iranian missiles fired at Israel.

Iran has vowed to retaliate against the U.S., too, while Trump has warned: “If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.” Here’s what to know about U.S. involvement so far.

Iran is often portrayed as one of the world’s most dangerous actors. But with attacks on its defenses, nuclear sites and proxy militias, Israel has exposed a compromised and weakened adversary.
