Overview

• Javad Larijani, a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, warned that a small drone could strike President Trump’s navel while he sunbathes at Mar-a-Lago.
• Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa labeling Trump a 'Muharib' under Shia law, effectively declaring him eligible for death.
• The Blood Pact crowdfunding campaign claims to have raised over $40 million to fund bounties against perceived enemies of Iran’s leadership, including Trump.
• These threats follow escalations after Trump’s 2020 killing of IRGC General Qassem Soleimani and recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
• No actual assassination attempt has occurred, but the public rhetoric has sustained an elevated risk assessment among U.S. security agencies.
