An $80million bounty has been
placed on Donald Trump's head in the wake of General Qasem Soleimani's
assassination, according to reports.
During the televised funeral of
the top Iranian, official state broadcasters said one US dollar would be tabled
for every Iranian in the country, with the cash going to whoever killed the US
President.
“Iran has 80 million inhabitants.
Based on the Iranian population, we want to raise $80million (£61million) which
is a reward for those who get close to the head of President Trump,” it was
announced, according to en24.
Soleimani, Iran's preeminent
military commander, was killed on Friday in a US drone strike on his convoy at
Baghdad airport.
The attack took long-running
hostilities between Washington and Tehran into uncharted territory and raised
the spectre of wider conflict in the Middle East.
Earlier today Iranian MP Abolfazl
Aboutorabi threatened to attack the heart of American politics.
“We can attack the White House
itself, we can respond to them on the American soil, he said according to the
Iranian Labour News Agency.
"We have the power, and God
willing we will respond in an appropriate time."
He went on to say that “this is a
declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose.
“When someone declares war, do
you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the
head.”
During an open session of
parliament in Tehran this afternoon President Trump was called a "terrorist
in a suit" after he threatened to hit 52 Iranian sites hard if Tehran
attacks Americans or U.S. assets.
Soleimani was the architect of
Tehran's clandestine and military operations abroad as head of the
Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei promised on Friday that Iran would seek harsh revenge for his death.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo said that if there were further Iranian attacks on U.S. targets,
Washington would respond with lawful strikes against decision-makers
orchestrating such attacks.

Nancy Pelosi, House speaker,
criticised the manner in which the decision was taken.
She said: “This initiation of
hostilities was taken without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)
against Iran, without the consultation of the Congress and without the
articulation of a clear and legitimate strategy to either the Congress or the
public."
