Trump Demands Real Commitment on Iran Nuclear Suspension Amid Escalating Assassination Threats

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that a proposed 20-year suspension of Iran's nuclear program must represent a genuine commitment, warning he would reject any agreement he finds unsatisfactory. This statement comes amidst heightened tensions as Iranian parliamentary officials advanced a bill formalizing threats against Trump. The proposal, introduced by the head of the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, mandates a 50 million euro reward for anyone who kills Trump, citing retaliation for alleged U.S. actions against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and General Qassem Soleimani. This legislative move escalates previous rhetoric, including fatwas and crowdfunding campaigns like the 'Blood Covenant,' which have called for Trump's assassination. While Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian previously denied government involvement in such fatwas, various hardline clerics and military figures continue to issue bounties and violent threats. Trump responded to these escalating dangers by asserting that the U.S. would take decisive military action to eliminate the threat if Iran attempts to act on these promises, marking a significant deterioration in diplomatic relations and raising fears of direct conflict between Tehran and Washington.
