Iranian Official Suggests Trump Assassination as US-Iran Tensions Soar

 

A senior Iranian official has stirred international outrage after publicly suggesting the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump, adding to mounting tensions between Tehran and Washington following recent military strikes and ongoing nuclear disputes.

 

Javad Larijani, a high-ranking adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made the provocative remarks on Iranian state television, suggesting that Trump could be targeted at his Florida estate. “Trump has done something so that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It’s very simple,” Larijani said with a laugh, according to Iran International, a London-based media outlet.

 

The chilling comment surfaced as a mysterious Iranian-linked website called “Blood Pact” claimed to have raised over $40 million for acts of "retribution against those who mock and threaten the supreme leader Ali Khamenei.”

 

U.S. national security agencies have responded by intensifying counterterrorism measures in the wake of a recent U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have issued warnings to federal agencies and state leaders, citing a growing risk of retaliatory action. Officials have raised concerns about the possibility of “sleeper cells” — Iranian operatives embedded within the United States — being activated to carry out attacks.

 

According to reports, Trump was previously warned through an intermediary at a G7 summit in Canada that any direct action against Iran’s nuclear program could trigger such cells into action. His confrontational stance toward Tehran is well documented. In 2017, during his presidency, Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal. Then, in 2020, he ordered a drone strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), further straining relations.

 

More recently, an alleged Iranian operative, Farhad Shakeri, was charged with plotting to assassinate Trump before the 2024 U.S. election. Prosecutors said he had been directed by an official within the IRGC. Trump has also survived two separate assassination attempts on the campaign trail—one in Pennsylvania in July 2024 and another at his West Palm Beach golf club in September.

 

Despite the tensions, Trump suggested this week that dialogue might be on the horizon. “They want to talk,” he told reporters, confirming that formal negotiations with Tehran had been “scheduled.”

 

Meanwhile, newly elected Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian appeared to leave the door open for diplomacy. In an interview with broadcaster Tucker Carlson, Pezeshkian said Iran would be willing to resume cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. “Unfortunately, as a result of the United States’ unlawful attacks against our nuclear centres and installations, many of the pieces of equipment and the facilities there have been severely damaged,” he added.

 

The policy group United Against Nuclear Iran has called on Washington to act decisively, demanding that the U.S. government impose sanctions on senior Iranian clerics responsible for issuing religious fatwas calling for Trump’s assassination. Chaired by former Florida governor Jeb Bush, the group released a list identifying eleven individuals and two affiliated organizations that it believes should face travel bans, indictments, and financial sanctions.

 

“Threats against the president of the United States and other Americans are a federal crime,” the group said in a statement obtained by Fox News. “Each of these individuals and entities should be sanctioned, indicted and banned from travel, along with their families, to the United States and its allies. The last fatwa against another American citizen, Salman Rushdie, almost cost him his life, with him being stabbed by an Iranian regime sympathiser. It is time to ensure that those who threaten Americans face the full force of the law.”

What's good for the goose.... After US bombing, Trump said Ayatollah should thank Trump for not having him killed too. Would that have been called "assassination"? or rather some euphemism like 'neutralized the assets"?

You whack my leader, I will whack yours. Eye for eye. Tit for tat. etc

Another "Pandora's Box" that should never have been opened but was - in spades.  Gone are the days of sending a battleship with 10 inch guns off the shore of a "cr*ppy little country" and shelling it with impunity.  The battle group is libel to find itself targeted by those whom they refer to in disparaging terms like "camel jockeys" (and worse) with advance weaponry as interesting enough there are physicists among the people in those cultures.  So then the physicists (and their families) along with the leadership of those countries become targeted with drone and missiles by the US and its allies.  Like the obsolete battle-groups, the weapons that replace them are available to those countries who have the technology to build them. And as such, the Game Of Assassinations can be played out by all nations worldwide.  

Realistically, a better approach would be to call a moratorium on all state sponsored extrajudicial killing and assassinations, but given the celebratory nature of assassinations by Western media very time a leader or scientist is eliminated by the US or its allies, the Game Of Assassinations is just getting off of the ground. That works until it doesn't.  It works until all world leaders become targets of their adversaries and the Game Of Assassinations becomes a tool in the toolbox of Power Projection.  

Be careful when opening Pandora's Box, or releasing a Genie out of its bottle.  The wishes you receive may be a double-edged sword.  Again - a better approach would be to call a moratorium on all state sponsored extrajudicial killing and assassinations.

No matter what Trump has done, backed by Congress, if this happened, meaning the assassination of Trump by Iran, do they not realize what would follow?

A B2 delivering turd of course, and that would simply be the end of the Ayatollah no doubt.

Only way to stop terror is extermination first of it's leaders, then going down the line until it's eradicated. No media coverage, drones, bombings, snipers, whatever it takes. Megalomaniacs have no business in power.

When Lincoln was assassinated, no one thought of killing the entire Confederacy. It is important to differentiate the assassin who was working alone and the one who the FBI can provide evidence of having received orders.

“We know exactly where the so‑called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill !), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

You would hate it if we took out your Iranian heroes. Do you shout Death to America too?

 

Hey, btw, did you think Trump made the right move in bombing Iran? How about in removing sanctions on Syria?

What on earth makes you think the Iranians are my hero’s?are you having another episode?as far as bombing Iran it saddens me that it came to that.thats a direct result of trump breaking the agreement that had inspectors verifying what they were up to,it also took the tool away of renewing sanctions if the Iranians were behaving badly.remember those mullas are on shaky ground with the population do you think they would have stood for going back on sanctions?ah but there I go trying to reason with a maggot that’s just a waste of time.
