As Iran’s foreign ministry evaluates a new U.S. proposal amidst escalating regional tensions, a controversial bill offers a reward for the assassination of President Trump and others.
Currently, Iran is assessing the proposal from the United States aimed at addressing ongoing regional tensions. This development coincides with a visit from Pakistan’s interior minister to Tehran, who is working to facilitate a potential agreement. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has issued a warning to the United States regarding the negotiations.
In parallel, President Donald Trump has reiterated that he is “in no rush” to finalize any agreement with Iran.
The Islamic Republic is also set to vote on a bill that would grant a significant monetary reward to anyone who kills President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and/or CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. The proposal requires the government to allocate the equivalent of $57,922,500 to any individual or organization that successfully assassinates President Donald Trump and others. This measure is framed as a response to the deaths of Iran’s leader and military commanders, for which the country holds the United States and Israel responsible.
Trump has faced multiple assassination plots since he ordered the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC Quds Force in Iraq, in 2020. Most recently, reports indicated that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in a joint operation carried out by the United States and Israel. Airstrikes were executed on February 28, 2026, aimed at destroying his compound in Tehran.
In response to the current ongoing conflict, Ebrahim Azizi, the head of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, announced on state television that lawmakers have drafted multiple bills, including one titled “Reciprocal Action by Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic.”
He boldly declared that “the vile president of the United States, the ominous and disgraceful Zionist prime minister, and the CENTCOM commander must be targeted and subjected to reciprocal action.” U.S. Central Command is led by Admiral Brad Cooper, who took on the position in August 2025.
