Threats on Trumps life

SPECIAL REPORT: THE OPEN BOUNTY

Why Tehran’s Escalating Plot Against Trump Marks a Dangerous New Chapter in Modern Espionage

By LOL242 News Desk

Published: July 11, 2026

WASHINGTON — For more than six years, global intelligence agencies have monitored a steady drumbeat of lethal threats emanating from the Islamic Republic of Iran targeting Donald J. Trump. Yet, a series of unprecedented, highly visible steps taken by Tehran this month has led counterterrorism experts to issue a stark warning: The Iranian threat has entered a fundamentally different, far more perilous phase.

What once resembled a shadow war of rhetoric and localized proxy plotting has transformed into an overt, state-sanctioned bounty system. The financial mechanics of this threat have reached historic proportions. Most notable is a formal piece of draft legislation moving through the Iranian parliament, introduced by Ebrahim Azizi, head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. Titled the “Counter-Action by the Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic,” the bill legally mandates that the Iranian government pay a staggering €50 million reward—approximately $58 million—to any natural or legal person who assassinates Mr. Trump.

This legislative maneuver has been accompanied by a massive, state-orchestrated text-messaging campaign within Iran. This domestic push has mobilized more than 290,000 citizens to register on regime-backed tracking sites, amassing an estimated $25 million in crowdfunded assassination pledges. Combined with cyber collective pools, intelligence analysts estimate that up to $150 million in total bounty money is now circulating through regime-linked financial networks.

“We are no longer looking at deniable, covert operations handled strictly by the Quds Force,” said a senior intelligence official speaking on the condition of anonymity. “Tehran has codified the assassination of a former American president into public policy. That fundamentally rewrites the rules of engagement.”

Chilling Displays of Fury at the Supreme Leader’s Funeral

The psychological warfare underlying this multi-million dollar bounty spilled directly into the streets of Tehran and Qom during this week’s massive, state-mandated funeral processions for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

As the funeral vehicle moved through central Tehran, the event was explicitly utilized by the regime as a rallying platform for violence against American leadership. Tens of thousands of mourners carried massive banners and highly graphic posters that bypassed traditional political messaging in favor of direct threats.

Among the most chilling displays was a massive English-language banner paraded directly in front of the vehicle carrying the Supreme Leader’s coffin. It read in bold lettering: “Kill Trump – $100 Million Iranian Bounty.”

                  ======================================
                  |             WANTED                 |
                  |           |
                  |         With Crosshairs            |
                  |                                    |
                  |          THERE WILL BE BLOOD       |
                  ======================================

Simultaneously, billboards hung from overpasses depicted Donald Trump with a bullet aimed directly at his head. Large posters featured the faces of Mr. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marked with red crosshairs alongside the stark, violent warning: “There will be blood.” Crowds of Islamic Republic loyalists were documented symbolically pelting these posters with heavy stones before tearing them apart, while an effigy of Mr. Trump was publicly hanged from a bridge over the procession route.

Just today, on July 11, 2026, the newly named Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued an official statement doubling down on this rhetoric, vowing that his father’s killers will not be allowed to “die peacefully in their beds” and declaring that retaliation is a permanent “national demand.”

A History Born in Blood: The Root of the Feud

The roots of this relentless geopolitical feud trace back to January 3, 2020. Acting on direct orders from then-President Trump, a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone fired missiles at a convoy leaving Baghdad International Airport. The strike killed Major General Qassem Soleimani, the legendary commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and the mastermind behind Iran’s regional proxy network.

To the American administration, Soleimani was a terrorist responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. service members. To the Iranian regime, he was an irreplaceable national icon second only to the Supreme Leader.

In the immediate aftermath, the friction was defined by chaotic, localized retaliation. A lawmaker from Kerman, Iran, initially announced a rudimentary $3 million cash bounty. Later that year, Iran issued an Interpol red notice for Mr. Trump’s arrest—a symbolic gesture that western law enforcement promptly ignored.

For the remainder of Mr. Trump’s first term and subsequent post-presidency, the IRGC relied heavily on low-level, transactional proxy networks. These early plots routinely suffered from poor operational security. A primary example came to light in unsealed Department of Justice criminal indictments against Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national with close ties to Iran. Court documents and hidden camera footage released by federal prosecutors detailed how Merchant attempted to recruit undercover assets in New York, map out rally perimeters, and use simple props like vape pens on napkins to illustrate how to isolate the former president.

Why the Present Moment is Radically Different

According to counterterrorism analysts, the threats facing Mr. Trump are entirely distinct from the historical posture for three critical reasons:

1. Open Invitation to Rogue Entities

Historically, state sponsors of terror utilized layers of separation to maintain plausible deniability. The combination of the €50 million parliamentary bill and the $100 million public funeral banners effectively eliminates that buffer. By transforming a covert operation into an open, legalized bounty, Iran is actively inviting international syndicates, rogue actors, and ideologically driven lone wolves to execute the plot with the promise of state protection and generational wealth.

2. A Climate of Proven Vulnerability

The Iranian escalation arrives at a time when the domestic security apparatus surrounding Mr. Trump has already been breached. The near-fatal sniper attack in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the subsequent stalking incident on a West Palm Beach golf course demonstrated to foreign intelligence agencies that domestic security is not infallible. Analysts worry that Tehran views these domestic security gaps as a window of operational opportunity.

3. The Geopolitical Impasse

The threat environment has worsened due to total diplomatic gridlock. Recent diplomatic cables indicate that Mr. Trump flatly rejected Iran’s latest 14-point proposal—which demanded total sanctions relief, war reparations, and a complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Persian Gulf—calling the terms “completely unacceptable.” In response, prominent Iranian figures like Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi have publicly taken to state media to urge pro-Tehran sleeper cells inside the United States to active status, explicitly warning of potential drone strikes against targets like Mar-a-Lago.

The U.S. Response

The shifting nature of the threat has forced an extraordinary bipartisan response in Washington. Congress is currently reviewing emergency funding packages designed to permanently upgrade the security details for presidential candidates to full-scale military theater protocols. Today, Mr. Trump publicly warned that he has authorized the U.S. military to “completely decimate and destroy” Iran if any attempt on his life is executed.

For law enforcement, the challenge is unprecedented: protecting a prominent public figure from a multi-million dollar bounty that is openly financed by a sovereign state, digitized through encrypted crypto-networks, and fueled by a six-year-old blood feud that shows no signs of slowing down.

As the legislative process concludes in Tehran and tensions remain at a historical peak, the open bounty on Donald Trump stands as a stark reminder of how a single drone strike in 2020 continues to reshape global security borders.

Editor’s Note: Fighting Back Through the Power of Prayer
