Iran Assassination Bill Draft Proposes EUR 50 Million Reward for Trump and Netanyahu

Reports said a draft bill in Iran proposed a large cash reward for killing US President Donald Trump. The same proposal also targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan, often called Iran’s "Assassination Bill", put the reward at about €50 million. The proposal drew attention as Middle East tensions stayed high.

The draft text has not become law, and it remained under review in Iran’s Parliament. Reports said it would permit state payment of about €50 million, or around $58 million. The proposal also framed the killings as a "religious and ideological mission." The bill’s language and timing prompted strong international scrutiny.

Reports said the draft’s formal title was: "Counter-Action by the Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic." The legislation reportedly sought legal cover for payments to any person or group. The reward applied if Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu were assassinated. The proposal was still awaiting debate and a vote.

The draft reportedly listed three individuals by name. The list included Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. It also named Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM). Key details from reports are below.

Iran Assassination Bill: Committee role and status

Reports said Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee prepared the draft. Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi headed the committee, according to those reports. The proposal was still waiting for parliamentary debate. It also needed an official vote before any legal effect.

Iran Assassination Bill: Why it was introduced

Reports linked the bill to retaliation claims after joint US-Israeli strikes on Tehran. Those strikes were reportedly referred to as "Operation Epic Fury." Hardline factions also tied the proposal to anger over the 2020 killing of Qassem Soleimani. Soleimani died in a US drone strike ordered during Donald Trump’s first term.

Iran Assassination Bill: Separate "Kill Trump" claims

Outside Parliament, reports also described alleged campaigns linked to pro-Iran groups. A pro-regime outlet called "Masaf" reportedly claimed fundraising for "Kill Trump" efforts. An Iran-linked cyber group named "Handala" reportedly made similar claims. These reports increased wider concern about political violence and regional escalation.

Iran Assassination Bill: US warnings and diplomatic backdrop

The United States had warned Iran about alleged threats to American officials. The US Department of Justice had announced charges tied to alleged Iranian-backed plots, reports noted. The controversy also came during sensitive diplomacy. Reports said Pakistan sought backchannel talks between Tehran and Washington to support a fragile ceasefire.

Although the bill had not passed, it drew notice for openly discussing assassination rewards. Analysts cited growing hostility among Iran, Israel, and the United States. Reports said stronger diplomatic reactions were likely if Iran’s Parliament advanced the proposal. For now, the draft remained under review, while tensions stayed elevated.
