Iran Hardliners Urge Attacks on Trump and Netanyahu
Hardline Iranian lawmakers and media escalated public threats around the NATO summit in Ankara, with regime-linked voices urging attacks on U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Reports said parliamentarian Hamid Rasaei called for targeting Trump's location in Turkey, while lawmaker Mojtaba Zarei called for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's death over hosting Trump. A hardline daily tied to the supreme leader's office also called for Trump and Netanyahu to be killed and cited a reward for Trump's assassination. The threats came as Tehran faced renewed U.S. strikes after Iranian attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, reinforcing Israel's warning that the regime's rhetoric and terror infrastructure are connected.
