Iraqi Militia Offers $10 Million Bounty for Killing Former President Trump

An Iran-backed Iraqi militia has reportedly placed a $10 million bounty on former U.S. President Donald Trump. The group, which operates in Iraq, made the announcement through a statement, calling for anyone to kill Trump. The bounty is believed to be a response to the U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020, an operation ordered by Trump. The militia, known for its close ties to Iran, has previously threatened American targets. The U.S. has not officially commented on the bounty, but security officials are likely to take the threat seriously. This development highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran-backed groups in the region. The bounty is unusual in its public nature and the high amount offered for an American political figure. Experts warn that such calls could inspire lone-wolf attacks or increase risks for U.S. personnel abroad. The militia is part of the Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iraqi state-sponsored umbrella group that includes several Iran-aligned factions. The United States has designated some of these groups as terrorist organizations. The bounty threat underscores the persistent security challenges facing the U.S. in the Middle East, even after Trump left office.
