Iranian Lawmaker Publicly Threatens He ‘Will Not Hesitate’ to Assassinate President TrumpJoshua Klein 7 Feb 2025
A senior Iranian lawmaker and member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee has openly declared his intent to assassinate President Donald Trump, stating he would “not hesitate” to kill the U.S. Commander in Chief after Trump warned he would “obliterate” the Islamic theocracy if it did so.
Iranian MP Mojtaba Zarei’s remarks, which he posted on the Iranian social media messaging platform Eitaa on Wednesday in response to President Trump’s warning the Islamic republic of drastic repercussions in the event of any attempt on his life, have fueled concerns over Iran’s escalating rhetoric against the U.S.
“If an opportunity arises, I will punish you personally!” said Zarei, who is a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, according to a translation provided to Breitbart News.
He continued:
For my part, I’d say that whenever I get the opportunity, I will not hesitate for a moment to kill you, and mind you, I am a political official who speaks this diplomatically. The masses of Iranians are waiting for an opportunity to send the murderer [Trump] and the mastermind of the assassination of the world’s greatest anti-terrorist figure, Haj Qassem [Soleimani], to hell in a glorious manner and worthy of his legacy, God willing!”
He also stated that “as a member of the Parliament’s National Security Committee and based on rational, patriotic, religious, political, and security realities, I say that the case of Haj Qassem Soleimani’s retribution will never go under the table and is still on the agenda and on the table. Of course, this is the State’s general policy.”
