Iran Calls for Trump’s Extradition and Offers $100 Million Reward for His Killing

Amid the funeral ceremonies for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Iranian regime has intensified its threats against former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mohsen Rezaee, an advisor to Khamenei, declared that both leaders will face severe punishment for the damage they caused, describing Netanyahu as an international criminal who must be held accountable. Rezaee also dismissed prospects for negotiations with the U.S., blaming Americans themselves for undermining any peace talks.

The hardline newspaper Kayhan, closely aligned with the regime, published a headline stating, "I want Trump's head," with editor Hossein Shariatmadari calling for Trump’s assassination wherever he is found. Shariatmadari urged the Iranian government to officially offer a financial reward for Trump’s murder, claiming that over $100 million has already been raised for this purpose. He also demanded that the Iranian negotiation team insist on Trump’s extradition to Iran as a precondition for any future agreements and reject any dialogue with Trump or his representatives.

These calls for revenge are part of a broader propaganda campaign accompanying Khamenei’s funeral, signaling that while the leader has died, the revolutionary cause and its retributive goals remain alive. The regime uses the mourning period to project strength and reinforce its commitment to punishing perceived enemies, particularly Trump and Netanyahu, whom it holds responsible for significant harm to Iran and the region.

This escalation reflects Tehran’s ongoing hostility toward the U.S. and Israel, with the regime leveraging the funeral events to galvanize public support for its hardline stance and to emphasize that retribution will continue as a central element of its revolutionary agenda.
