Iraqi Group Claims Trump Bounty
An armed group identifying itself as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has reportedly announced a $10 million reward targeting US President Donald Trump, according to reports published by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency and Russia's state-run RT. The reports say the group issued the announcement on Thursday, describing the reward as a response to remarks it claimed Trump made about commanders who were killed while fighting the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS.
At the time of publication, the group's statement had not been independently verified, and neither outlet provided details explaining how the reported reward would be administered. Because the claim originates from state media reports and has not been confirmed by US authorities or independent sources, its authenticity remains unclear.
Islamic Resistance Iraq Statement
According to the reported statement, the group said the reward was offered following what it described as President Trump's "audacious and offensive statements." The reports did not identify any individual assigned to administer the alleged bounty or explain how the funds would be distributed.
The announcement surfaced during a period of heightened tensions across the Middle East as military exchanges and political disputes involving the United States, Iran, and Iran-aligned armed groups continue to intensify. The latest claim adds to increasingly hostile rhetoric circulating during the current regional crisis.
White House Response Pending
There was no immediate public response from the White House or US law enforcement agencies regarding the reported threat. No official US government statement had confirmed the authenticity of the reported announcement by the time this article was published.
Security experts generally note that threats against current or former heads of state are assessed by federal authorities before any public conclusions are reached. In this case, US officials have not announced any changes to presidential security or released information regarding a formal investigation.
Laura Loomer Reaction
Conservative activist Laura Loomer responded to the reports in a post on X, criticizing Russian state media for publicizing the alleged announcement. She argued that the reports demonstrated why Russia should not be viewed as an ally of the United States.
Her comments quickly circulated online, although government officials have not commented publicly on either the reported bounty or Loomer's remarks. The incident highlights how social media reactions can rapidly amplify geopolitical developments before official verification is available.
The reported announcement comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain elevated following recent military operations, diplomatic exchanges, and disputes over regional security. While the reported statement has attracted international attention, independent confirmation remains unavailable, and official responses from US authorities are still pending. Readers should view the claim in the context of ongoing regional information warfare and await further verification from government agencies or other reliable sources.
