BREAKING: Netanyahu Defies Trump’s Plan | Claims ‘killing’ Khamenei would ‘end’ conflict

In a bold interview with ABC News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that targeting and killing Iran's Supreme Leader would not escalate conflict but rather "end it." This statement follows reports that U.S. President Donald Trump had previously vetoed such a plan, fearing it would worsen tensions between Iran and Israel.
