Blood Covenant: Iranian website raises $40M bounty to assassinate Trump
The platform claims to have already raised over USD 40 million from supporters, although the figures remain unverified and the site's operators are unknown.
The campaign, launched in response to what it calls 'American-Zionist infanticide' and threats against Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, describes its goal as delivering 'justice' to those who have harmed Iran and its leadership.
The website declares, 'We pledge to award the bounty to anyone who can bring the enemies of God and those who threaten the life of Ali Khamenei to justice.'
The website denies any affiliation with official bodies and frames its campaign as a grassroots response to years of what it describes as 'US state terrorism.' One message on the site reads, 'This campaign is not funding terrorism. It is funding the fight against U.S. state terrorism.'
Another post justifies the campaign in emotional and ideological terms, 'Silent in the face of American-Zionist infanticide, assassination of scientists and high-ranking commanders… now they are worried about Trump's life and are bewilderedly condemning the campaign.'
In an attempt to cool international tensions, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian distanced his administration from the any assassination campaigns during an interview with US media personality Tucker Carlson earlier this week.
'The fatwa of warfare has nothing to do with the Iranian government or the Supreme Leader,' Pezeshkian said.

Unearthed 2014 article shows Zohran Mamdani's early advocacy for Palestinian rights
A resurfaced college article has shed light on Zohran Mamdani's long-standing support for the Palestinian cause, years before he became a leading figure in New York politics. Mamdani, now 33 and the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, co-authored the piece as an undergraduate at Bowdoin College, where he co-founded the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Published on January 10, 2014, in Bowdoin's student paper, The Bowdoin Orient, Mamdani's article strongly endorsed the American Studies Association's (ASA) decision to join the academic boycott of 'Israeli' institutions, a move aimed at pressuring 'Israel' to end its occupation of Palestinian territories. 'The American Studies Association, a group of scholars on American culture and history, recently decided to honor the call of Palestinian civil society to boycott Israeli institutions,' Mamdani wrote. 'This academic and cultural boycott aims to bring under scrutiny the actions of the Israeli government and to put pressure on Israeli institutions to end the oppressive occupation and racist policies within both Israel and occupied Palestine.' The piece criticized 'Israeli' universities for what Mamdani described as active and passive complicity in 'Israel's' military occupation. He accused them of prioritizing soldiers in admissions, discriminating against Palestinian students, developing remote-controlled bulldozers for home demolitions, and conducting research for the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), with some institutions operating from illegal settlements built on occupied land. Mamdani rejected claims that the boycott stifled free speech, arguing instead that it had sparked wider debate about 'Israeli' human rights abuses. He specifically challenged then-Bowdoin College President Barry Mills, who opposed the boycott, accusing him of ignoring Palestinian suffering: 'Mills regrettably makes no mention of Palestinians or Palestine… When Mills speaks of the 'free exchange of knowledge, ideas, and research,' he does so while privileging partnerships with Israeli institutions over basic freedoms for Palestinians, including the rights to food, water, shelter and education.' The mayoral nominee praised Bowdoin professors who supported the ASA resolution and urged students and faculty to sign a pro-boycott petition.

China condemns 'coercion' after Trump floats tariffs on Russia allies
China condemned on Tuesday "coercion" by the United States, after President Donald Trump threatened "very severe" tariffs against Moscow's remaining trade partners if it doesn't resolve its war in Ukraine within 50 days. "China firmly opposes all illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. There are no winners in a tariff war, and coercion and pressure will not solve problems," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.
