TEHRAN, May 19 (ANI): Iranian lawmakers are reportedly debating new legislation that could authorize financial rewards for actions against top US and Israeli leaders, according to The Telegraph UK.
The reports claim that the proposed bill, titled “Reciprocal Action by Military and Security Forces of the Islamic Republic,” is being discussed in Iran’s parliament. Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of Iran’s national security commission, reportedly said the draft includes provisions for a EUR 50 million reward for actions targeting US President Donald Trump.
The same reports say Iranian officials have also linked the proposal to Israeli leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as tensions in the region continue to escalate following recent military confrontations.
Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy chairman of Iran’s parliamentary National Security Committee, reportedly said the proposed framework represents a significant shift in Tehran’s approach toward its adversaries. He warned of retaliatory measures in response to any further military pressure against Iran, stating that responses could extend beyond the United States and Israel to regional allies.
Nabavian also criticized Western officials in a social media post, using strong language while accusing them of hostile rhetoric against Iran’s leadership and military commanders.
The developments come amid ongoing hostility between Iran and Israel, as well as continued tensions with the United States following past targeted killings of senior Iranian military figures, including Qassem Soleimani.
Separately, reports indicate that cyber groups have also claimed financial incentives targeting Western leaders, further heightening concerns over digital and geopolitical escalation.
Despite the heightened rhetoric, Iranian officials have also suggested that indirect diplomatic contacts with Washington continue through intermediaries, including Pakistan, with discussions reportedly covering nuclear-related conditions, sanctions relief, and regional security issues.
The situation remains highly volatile, with analysts warning of the risk of further escalation even as limited diplomatic channels remain open.
