An Iranian provincial cleric has publicly promised a 100 billion-toman (roughly US$1.1 million) reward for anyone who kills former U.S. president Donald Trump. Mansour Emami, who heads the Islamic Propagation Organization in West Azerbaijan, made the offer on 7 July during an Ashura ceremony, invoking revenge for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed General Qassem Soleimani. Hours after Emami’s remarks, hard-line activists opened a Farsi-language crowdfunding portal called “Ahde Khoun,” or “Blood Pact,” to finance what they describe as a bounty on Trump. The site claimed to have collected more than US$20 million by the evening of 7 July and said contributions exceeded US$27 million the next morning, far outstripping the original sum cited by Emami. The initiative draws on a series of clerical fatwas that call for Trump’s execution. Kayhan, a newspaper financed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s office, said the rulings were a direct religious order rather than scholarly opinion. Assembly of Experts member Mohammad-Mehdi Mirbagheri wrote that such edicts could leave U.S. and Israeli leaders with “no safe space” if “autonomous action” were authorized. Within Iran’s bureaucracy, officials offered conflicting signals. Ali Moradkhani, the national Islamic Propagation Organization’s spokesman, insisted no formal plan exists to place or pay a bounty, while acknowledging public anger over Soleimani’s death. The dispute underscores the blurred line between state institutions and loosely affiliated hard-line networks when issuing threats abroad. The escalated rhetoric and crowdfunding drive mark the most public attempt yet to finance violence against a former U.S. president, adding a new flashpoint to already strained U.S.–Iran relations and complicating security arrangements for Trump’s Secret Service detail.
