In a volatile escalation of West Asian geopolitical friction, lawmakers in Tehran are actively debating new statutory measures aimed at orchestrating the assassination of top American and Israeli leaders. The legislative push comes in the wake of military strikes in February that resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to reports by The Telegraph UK, Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of Iran's national security commission, revealed that legislators are drafting a bill titled ‘Reciprocal Action by Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic'. Azizi noted that the objective of this legislation is to formalise a Euro 50 million reward for anyone who kills US President Donald Trump.

Elaborating further on the state's targets, Azizi asserted that Tehran holds Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Admiral Brad Cooper of US Central Command directly accountable for the February 28 strike that killed Khamenei.
