Iran’s Explosive ‘Assassination Bill’: What Is Behind The Proposal Targeting Trump And Netanyahu?

A controversial draft bill introduced in Iran has sparked global attention after reports claimed it proposes a massive financial reward for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The proposed legislation, widely referred to as Iran's "Assassination Bill," reportedly offers a €50 million bounty to anyone who successfully kills either leader. The bill comes at a time of rising tensions in the Middle East and has triggered strong international reactions due to its explosive nature.

What Is the 'Assassination Bill'?

The draft legislation is formally titled:

"Counter-Action by the Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic."
According to reports, the bill would legally authorize the Iranian government to pay approximately €50 million (around $58 million) to any person or group responsible for assassinating Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu.

The proposal reportedly describes the act as a "religious and ideological mission."
The bill is currently under review in the Iranian Parliament and has not yet officially become law.

Who Are Named in the Bill?

The proposed legislation specifically names:

• Donald Trump
• Benjamin Netanyahu
• Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM)

The draft was reportedly prepared by Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, headed by Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi.

It is still awaiting parliamentary debate and an official vote.

Why Has Iran Introduced This Bill?

The proposal comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel. According to reports, Iranian lawmakers linked the bill to retaliation for recent joint US-Israeli military strikes on Tehran, reportedly referred to as "Operation Epic Fury."

Iranian hardline factions also continue to connect such actions to revenge for the 2020 killing of senior Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in a US drone strike ordered during Donald Trump's first term as president.

The killing of Soleimani remains one of the biggest flashpoints in US-Iran relations in recent years.

Claims About "Kill Trump" Campaigns

Apart from the parliamentary bill itself, reports also claim that pro-Iran groups and cyber-linked organisations have allegedly started separate campaigns targeting Trump.

A pro-regime media outlet called "Masaf" and an Iran-linked cyber group named "Handala" reportedly claimed to have independently raised millions of dollars for alleged "Kill Trump" campaigns.

These reports have further intensified global concern about political violence and rising tensions in the region.

US Previously Warned Iran

The United States has repeatedly warned Iran over alleged threats against American officials. The US Department of Justice has previously announced criminal charges linked to alleged Iranian-backed assassination plots targeting American figures.

Donald Trump himself had earlier issued strong warnings to Tehran, reportedly saying that any attempt on his life would lead to severe US retaliation.

Timing Raises Global Concerns

The controversy comes during a highly sensitive diplomatic period in the Middle East.
According to reports, Pakistan has been attempting to facilitate backchannel peace talks between Tehran and Washington to maintain a fragile ceasefire amid ongoing regional conflict.

Because of this, the proposed bill has added fresh tension to an already unstable geopolitical environment.

International Reactions Expected

Although the legislation has not yet officially passed, the proposal itself has already drawn international attention due to the seriousness of openly discussing assassination rewards involving world leaders.

Political experts believe the bill reflects the growing hostility between Iran, Israel, and the United States amid military conflict, sanctions, and regional power struggles.
The coming days are expected to bring strong diplomatic reactions if the bill moves forward in Iran's Parliament.

For now, the proposal remains under review, but it has already become one of the most controversial geopolitical developments being discussed globally.
