Iran Puts $80 Million Bounty On Donald Trump 

Iran is ready to give out  $80 million to anyone who will avenge Qasem Soleimani’s death by killing U.S. president Donald Trump.

The statement was issued in a television broadcast by Iran’s official state broadcaster stating that a U.S. dollar will be placed for every Iranian and the cash going to any person who kills Trump.

According to state media en24, “Iran has 80 million inhabitants. Based on the Iranian population, we want to raise $80million (£61million) which is a reward for those who get close to the head of President Trump.”

The attack took long-running hostilities between Washington and Tehran into uncharted territory and raised the spectre of wider conflict in the Middle East.

The attack has worsened US diplomatic relations in the Middle East, however it has also escalated existing tension between the US and Iran with Iranian MP Abolfazl Aboutorabi threatening to attack the heart of American politics.

“We can attack the White House itself; we can respond to them on the American soil, he said according to the Iranian Labour News Agency.

“We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time.” Adding that, “this is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose.”

 “When someone declares war, do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head.”

Similarly, the decision by Trump to kill Soleimani has not been applauded by Democrats as Nancy Pelosi, House speaker, criticised the manner in which the decision was taken.

According to Pelosi, “This initiation of hostilities was taken without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran, without the consultation of the Congress and without the articulation of a clear and legitimate strategy to either the Congress or the public.”
