HRAN, Iran’s parliament is reportedly preparing to vote on legislation offering a €50 million ($58 million) reward for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the February strikes on Tehran that reportedly killed former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The proposed legislation, titled “Reciprocal Action by the Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic,” would also target U.S. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, according to lawmakers involved in drafting the measure. Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee chairman Ebrahim Azizi said Trump, Netanyahu, and Admiral Cooper are considered responsible for the February 28 attack and “must face confrontation and reciprocal action.”

Iranian officials described the proposal as part of a broader retaliation campaign amid escalating tensions between Tehran, Washington, and Tel Aviv after months of military confrontation and threats of renewed strikes.According to multiple regional and international reports, the proposed bounty legislation would formally codify threats that had previously circulated through regime-linked campaigns and hardline networks inside Iran.

Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian reportedly confirmed parliament would soon vote on allocating special funds for whoever “sends Trump and Netanyahu to hell,” while supporters of the proposal argue it is a direct response to the killing of Iran’s top leadership during the joint U.S.-Israeli operation earlier this year.The reported legislation comes as President Donald Trump warned that the United States could launch new military strikes against Iran if nuclear negotiations fail, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the confrontation with Tehran is “not over.”

Analysts say the growing exchange of threats reflects an increasingly dangerous regional climate, with fears that political rhetoric, military escalation, and retaliatory measures could further destabilize the Middle East and trigger wider international consequences. Could escalating retaliation rhetoric between Iran, the United States, and Israel push the region closer to a broader military conflict, or will diplomacy still prevail before tensions spiral further?
