Iran official suggests Maduro-style Trump capture over protest support

Senior Iranian official and ideologue Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi said on Friday that Iran should capture US President Donald Trump, just like what he did to Maduro, in response to Washington's stance on the protests in Iran.

“Given Trump's stance, any kind of operation inside US territory, in all its states and cities including destructive operations like those they carry out here, would be permissible… against American officials and those linked to them,” Azghadi said.

“Iran must do with Trump what they did to Maduro,” Azghadi, a member of Iran's Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, said. “Trump must pay the price during or even after his presidency and I personally hope Trump would be captured.”
