Iranian mouthpiece Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, recently called for President Trump’s assassination on X.
Nabavian recently threatened Arab leaders for their role in siding against the evil Iranian regime and threatened to “kill the despots and have their palaces destroyed.”

But, Nabavian was not finished. Earlier this week the Iranian spokesman called for a “significant reward” for anyone who kills US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian said on Monday that parliament would soon consider a “significant reward” for anyone who kills US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in response to what he called renewed threats against Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Of course, this is not the first Iranian assassination threat against Trump.
In fact, in August 2024, long before the current Iran War, a Pakistani national with ties to Iran was charged with murder-for-hire in a foiled attempt on President Trump’s life.

A federal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in Brooklyn has charged Asif Merchant, also known as “Asif Raza Merchant,” a 46-year-old Pakistani national, with murder-for-hire in connection with a foiled assassination plot targeting a politician or U.S. government officials on American soil.
The plot was thwarted by law enforcement before any attack could be executed. Merchant is currently in federal custody in New York, according to the press release.
FBI investigators believe that the intended targets of the plot included Trump and other current and former U.S. government officials, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter, per CNN.
According to court documents, Merchant orchestrated a plot to assassinate a politician or U.S. government officials on U.S. soil. In approximately April 2024, after spending time in Iran, Merchant arrived in the United States from Pakistan and contacted a person he believed could assist him with the scheme. This individual reported Merchant’s intentions to law enforcement and became a confidential source (CS).
In early June, during a meeting with the CS, Merchant outlined his assassination plot and indicated that this opportunity would not be a one-time event. He made a gesture resembling a gun with his hand while discussing the killing and specified that the targets would be “here,” referring to the United States.
Merchant’s plan included various criminal activities: stealing documents from a target’s residence, organizing protests, and ultimately assassinating a political figure or government official. He expressed concerns about security measures surrounding potential targets and discussed multiple scenarios for carrying out the assassination.
In mid-June, Merchant met with individuals he believed were hitmen but were actually undercover FBI agents (UCs). During these meetings, he sought their services for theft and assassination and indicated that he would provide instructions on whom to kill after leaving the U.S.
Merchant arranged to pay $5,000 in cash as an advance for the assassination services and successfully delivered this payment on June 21. Following this transaction, he made plans to leave the country on July 12, 2024, one day before Trump’s assassination attempt. However, law enforcement intervened and arrested him before he could depart.

It can be recalled that CNN reported that the Trump campaign was made aware of an Iranian assassination plot against Trump before the infamous rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024. Trump was shot and nearly assassinated by Thomas Crooks who, authorities said, had not connection with Iran.
In 2022, former Supreme leader and Ayatollah Khamenei released a video on his website depicting the assassination of President Donald Trump.
Khamenei was later killed in launch of the Iran War along with dozens of top Iranian officials.
