An unnamed Iranian eulogist has put an $80 million bounty on President Donald Trump’s head.
The Iranian made the declaration during the funeral of Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian army general who was killed by the US in an airstrike at Baghdad international airport.
According to Al Arabiya, during the funeral procession, which was broadcast live on Iran’s Channel One, the eulogist asked all Iranians to donate $1 each in order to put the $80 million bounty on Trump’s head.
“We are 80 million Iranians, if each one of us puts aside one American dollar, we will have 80 million American dollars, and we will reward anyone who brings us [Trump]’s head with that amount,” he said while addressing a large crowd in Iran’s north-eastern city of Mashhad.
Since the killing of Soleimani, Iran and the US have been in a war of words.
While Iran said it has identified 35 US targets for retaliatory strikes, the US said it has spent $2 trillion on new weapons, and would hit 52 Iranian targets. (The Cable)
