Iraq's Islamic Resistance offers $10 million bounty for Trump's assassination
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has announced a $10 million financial reward for the assassination of US President Donald Trump, in retaliation for his role in the killing of two revered resistance commanders, calling the bounty a "curse" on the US president.
In a statement released on Thursday, the umbrella group of resistance factions said the reward money had been collected from donations by its members and supporters.
The bounty is designated for anyone who kills Trump or for any individual, group, or institution designated to carry out the act.
The group said Trump's "criminal boasting" about the assassination of "victory commanders", Major General Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, was the "most obvious sign of the moral collapse of the US government."
General Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force, and al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces, were killed in a US drone strike outside Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020, on Trump's direct order.
The statement added that Trump's "audacity" has only added to the "immortality of the pure blood" of the two martyrs and brought "nothing but eternal disgrace and infamy" to their killer.
It also declared that "free people of the world will continue to pursue the killer of children and scientists," and that the "oppressors will never see peace."
The announcement comes amid a renewed and intense phase of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, which began on February 28.
The war has seen repeated US violations of a fragile ceasefire and a collapsed memorandum of understanding.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a key component of the Axis of Resistance, has been actively involved in the war, launching attacks on US military assets in the region.
