“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ‘would end the conflict’ between the two nations — after President Trump reportedly urged him not to do it. ‘It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict,’ Netanyahu told ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl in an interview — arguing that Khamenei is ‘like a modern Hitler.’ Netanyahu said his country was ‘doing what we need to do’ when asked if Israel would target Khamenei — while noting that Iran’s government allegedly plotted to assassinate Trump and himself. ‘They actually had their proxy shoot a drone right into my bedroom window,’ Netanyahu said. Israel on Friday began massive airstrikes on Iran — targeting its nuclear sites as well as top scientists and military officials. The two nations have exchanged daily rocket fire since the initial attack.” (06/16/25)
