Iranian Parliament Committee Proposes Bounty for Assassination of Trump
The head of Iran's Parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Commission announced a legislative proposal that effectively places a bounty on former US President Donald Trump. The plan stipulates a 50 million euro reward for any individual or entity that carries out the assassination, framing it as a religious and ideological duty. This move escalates tensions by targeting Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper, whom Iranian officials hold responsible for the deaths of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and General Qasem Soleimani. The proposal shifts previous rhetorical threats and religious fatwas into formal parliamentary action. While Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian previously attempted to distance the government from such fatwas, hardline figures and state-affiliated media continue to advocate for violent retribution. This development follows a pattern of escalating verbal hostilities, including crowdfunding campaigns for assassinations and threats of jihad, raising concerns about potential state-sponsored violence and further destabilizing US-Iran relations amidst ongoing nuclear and regional conflicts.
