Iran’s radical clerical regime has escalated its threats against President Donald Trump with a shocking new plot. A regime-backed group known as Blood Covenant has allegedly raised over $40 million to fund Trump’s assassination, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Within hours of issuing fatwas labeling Trump an “enemy of Allah,” clerics sanctioned the creation of Blood Covenant, “charging every cell of the resistance in the West” to carry out the killing. The movement has already raised “nearly $40.3 million for the president’s assassination,” according to MEMRI.
The group launched on July 4 to defend Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and is being openly promoted by Fars News, a mouthpiece of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Their propaganda includes a poster showing Trump in crosshairs with the caption: “Strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.”
Iranian scholar Abdolmajid Kharqani even boasted about the fundraiser on state television, saying the funds were to ensure “nobody in Iran will be harmed anymore.” The call to action reportedly includes promises of paradise and divine reward for whoever carries out the plot.
A senior State Department official told the Washington Free Beacon that the Trump administration “is committed to holding bad actors accountable,” and warned that the U.S. will use every tool available, including sanctions.
Former State Department adviser Gabriel Noronha called for a forceful response: “I hope the Trump administration doesn’t let this dangerous rhetoric go unchallenged like Biden did.”
As MEMRI warns, “calls to assassinate Trump are coming from above and being echoed in the street”—a chilling signal that the Blood Covenant bounty is no empty threat.
