A member of Iran’s Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution called for a multimillion-dollar bounty to kill Donald Trump and urged Tehran-aligned groups in the United States to prepare attacks against American officials.
Speaking Friday night at a pro-government rally, Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi said: “When Trump proudly says I assassinated the leader of the Islamic Republic, we must also say we will assassinate you.”
He added: “Trump says every few weeks that I killed Qassem Soleimani. We can also say we will assassinate you, and we can do it.”
Rahimpour Azghadi said Iran should set “a reward of several million dollars” for killing Trump and “prepare our supporters in America” to activate cells against US officials.
He also called for attacks on regional oil infrastructure, saying: “We must hit the region’s oil.” He argued that damage to Iran’s own oil sector would be tolerable, saying the country would face “one or two years” of problems before recovering.
