Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s supreme leader, according to American officials.

Details of the plan to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei emerged on Sunday night after Mr Trump warned Iran not to target American interests and car bombs rocked Tehran, the Iranian capital.

The White House has made clear it is intent on limiting Israel’s actions to degrading Iran’s nuclear weapons programme and does not want a wider regional war.

World leaders were due to meet in Calgary, Canada, on Monday at a G7 summit where conflict in the Middle East is expected to dominate the agenda.

Sources said Israel had briefed the Trump administration on its plan to kill Iran’s supreme leader but Mr Trump refused to approve the operation.

“Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership,” said a senior US administration official.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, shrugged off questions about the plan during a TV interview.

We can stop sending money if we don’t like what they do, but we don’t get to tell another sovereign nation how it may or may not conduct itself and its affairs. Israel is not the 51st state.
