The Donald Trump bounty claim has drawn international attention after the Iran-linked Iraqi militia alliance Islamic Resistance in Iraq allegedly announced a $10 million reward for the killing of former US President Donald Trump. The claim comes at a time of heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, although it has not been independently verified.
According to international media reports, the militia alliance said the money would be raised through donations from its members and supporters. However, the group has not presented independently verifiable evidence to support its claim, and no official confirmation has been provided by neutral sources.
The reported announcement followed remarks made by Trump during a meeting with the Iraqi prime minister at the White House, where he again referred to his role in the 2020 US drone strike near Baghdad that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq is an umbrella alliance of Iran-backed Shiite armed groups. US officials have repeatedly accused factions within the alliance of carrying out attacks against American military bases, diplomatic facilities, and other interests in Iraq, Syria, and across the region. Iran has denied involvement in such attacks on multiple occasions.
US authorities have previously alleged that Iran-linked individuals attempted to target Trump in retaliation for the killing of Soleimani. Tehran has consistently rejected those accusations, describing them as baseless.
Security analysts say the latest claim comes amid renewed diplomatic and military tensions between Washington and Tehran. They warn that inflammatory statements from armed groups could further increase instability in the Middle East, particularly as regional conflicts continue to evolve.
