US President Donald Trump has been presented with military options that include the targeted killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba Khamenei, Axios reported citing senior administration sources.
One scenario discussed would “take out the ayatollah and his son and the mullahs," a senior Trump advisor said, referring to Khamenei and Mojtaba, who is widely seen as a potential successor. However, the advisor stressed that no final decision has been made.

“The President hasn’t decided to strike yet. I know that because we haven’t struck. He might never do it. He might wake up tomorrow and say, ‘That’s it,’" the source said.
According to the report, the US Defence Department has presented multiple military options.
“They have something for every scenario," the advisor said, adding, “What the President chooses no one knows. I don’t think he knows."
A second source said a plan involving the killing of Khamenei and his son had been floated several weeks ago, indicating the possibility has been under consideration for some time.
Another senior advisor said Trump is maintaining strategic ambiguity.
“Trump is keeping his options open. He could decide on an attack at any moment," the official said.
