I also saw the Bibi interview where FOX asked him directly if Trump waved off the assassination. Bibi would not confirm but did go on to say such ops would lead to more "complication" ( Israel is happy where it's at taking out ballisti missiles /nuke enrichment and the leadership IRGC)
I personally think this is an ideal situation to once an for all stop nuclear Iran and proliferation to it's terrorists proxies
If you go after civilian/religious leaders it means war against the Islamic Shi'a faith, and not just the IRGC -needless "complication"

Inside the White House, there continues to be heavy skepticism about getting involved in the conflict further, according to multiple officials familiar with the matter. Trump remains concerned about getting dragged into a war he didn’t start and wanted to avoid, and is acutely aware of the complicated politics at play, those officials said.
Over the weekend, one senior US official told CNN, the Israelis had an opportunity to kill Iran’s supreme leader. The US communicated to Israel that Trump opposed that plan, the senior official said, and the plan was not executed. Trump is eager to de-escalate, wary of becoming bogged in another Middle East war and highly attuned to the changing politics of his party.
Trump has stopped well short of joining Israel’s military in its attempts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear facilities, resisting pressure from fellow Republicans to join the fight.
