Iran Intensifies Threats Against Trump, Calls for His Assassination Amid Rising Tensions

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) recently released footage showing missile and drone launches targeting U.S. bases in the Gulf region. This escalation follows American strikes on Iranian targets and is accompanied by unprecedented threats from senior Iranian regime figures. The state-affiliated newspaper Kayhan published a headline declaring, "I want Trump's head," with editor Hossein Shariatmadari urging the Iranian government to officially declare Trump and his associates as targets for assassination, offering a monetary reward. Shariatmadari claimed over $100 million has already been raised for this purpose and demanded that Trump's extradition to Iran for trial be a precondition in any future negotiations.

Mohsen Rezaei, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, stated that revenge against both Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a core goal of the Iranian revolution. He described Netanyahu as an international criminal who must be punished and emphasized that the revolution aims not only at military defense but also at raising regional awareness and ending U.S. and Israeli influence.

In a related development, Lebanese President Michel Aoun expressed his support for ongoing negotiations with Israel, emphasizing his commitment to preventing Lebanon's destruction and ending Israeli occupation. He hopes his upcoming Washington visit will yield positive outcomes for Lebanon.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a halt to trade relations with Spain, labeling the country "hopeless" and "bad people." The Spanish Prime Minister's office responded by dismissing Trump's remarks as routine rhetoric and reaffirmed Spain's strong social, cultural, and economic ties with the United States.

The Iranian regime's public mourning for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is portrayed not only as a farewell but as a rallying point to continue the revolutionary path, with revenge remaining a central theme driving Iran's policies and actions.
