Iran's parliament is set to vote on a bill proposing a €50 million ($58 million) bounty for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This legislation, titled 'Counter-Action by the Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic,' is a response to the alleged responsibility of both leaders for the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February. Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, emphasized that Trump and Netanyahu should be targeted. The announcement follows claims from the Iranian cyberwarfare group 'Handala,' which also offered a $50 million reward for their assassination. The situation escalates amid ongoing indirect peace negotiations between Iran and the US, with US officials expressing concerns about the lack of progress. This proposed bounty marks a significant increase in threats against both leaders, reflecting heightened geopolitical tensions in the region.
