An Iranian lawmaker offered a $3 million reward to
anyone who killed United States President Donald Trump and said Iran
could avoid threats if it had nuclear arms, ISNA news agency reported
yesterday amid Tehran’s latest standoff with Washington.
U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood dismissed the reward as
“ridiculous”, telling reporters in Geneva it showed the “terrorist
underpinnings” of Iran’s establishment. Tensions have steadily escalated
since Trump pulled Washington out of Tehran’s nuclear agreement with
world powers in 2018 and reimposed U.S. sanctions. The standoff erupted
into tit-for-tat military strikes this month.
“On behalf of the people of Kerman province, we will pay a $3 million
reward in cash to whoever kills Trump,” lawmaker Ahmad Hamzeh told the
290-seat parliament, ISNA reported.
He did not say if the reward had any official backing from Iran’s clerical rulers.
The city of Kerman, in the province south of the capital, is the
hometown of Qassem Soleimani, a prominent Iranian commander whose
killing in a drone strike ordered by Trump on Jan. 3 in Baghdad prompted
Iran to fire missiles at U.S. targets in Iraq.
“If we had nuclear weapons today, we would be protected from threats …
We should put the production of long-range missiles capable of carrying
unconventional warheads on our agenda. This is our natural right,” he
was quoted as saying by ISNA.
The United States and its Western allies have long accused Iran of
seeking nuclear weapons. Tehran insists it has never sought nuclear arms
and never will, saying its nuclear work is for research and to master
the process to generate electricity.
The 2015 nuclear agreement overall was designed to increase the time
Iran would need to obtain enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb.
Parties to the deal believed, at the time, Iran could produce enough
material in two to three months if it wanted.
