A major controversy is erupting after reports claimed that Iran's parliament is reviewing a bill that would reward anyone who assassinates U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi, the proposed legislation would require the Iranian government to pay €50 million to any individual or organization carrying out what was described as a "religious and ideological mission."
Azizi reportedly told Iranian state television that the U.S. president, Israel's prime minister, and the CENTCOM commander "must be targeted and subjected to reciprocal action." The remarks are being linked to growing tensions between Washington and Tehran following years of confrontation after the 2020 killing of top IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike ordered by Trump in Baghdad.
The bill has sparked alarm in the United States, with officials condemning the proposal as a blatant call for violence against a former and potentially future American leader. The development comes amid heightened rhetoric between the two nations, with Iran vowing revenge for Soleimani's death and the U.S. maintaining a强硬 stance on Iranian nuclear ambitions and regional activities.
Analysts warn that such a bill, if passed, could further destabilize an already volatile region and lead to severe consequences for international security. The U.S. has not officially responded but is expected to raise the issue at the United Nations.
