State-run Iranian paper issues graphic call for assassinating Trump after his stern warning | 5 April 2025 | The Islamist revolutionary newspaper that is widely considered the voice of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday stoked a targeted assassination of President Donald Trump. According to the Persian language article published in the Kayhan newspaper of Khamenei, the following statement was made: "He's [Trump's] way out of line! Any day now, in revenge for the blood of Martyr Soleimani, a few bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull of his and he'll be drinking from the chalice of a cursed death." The Kayhan article comes days after Trump said he would launch bombing attacks against Iran's government if they refused to dismantle their atomic weapons program. Trump said that "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing," he said. "But there's a chance that if they don't make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago." Trump added the U.S. and officials from the Islamic Republic are "talking."
