Iran threatens to assassinate Trump while sunbathing at Mar-a-Lago amid high alert for sleeper cell terrorists in US

A TOP Iranian official and senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has threatened to assassinate Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Former diplomat Javad Larijani told Iranian state TV that Don could face a drone attack while sunbathing at his lavish Florida mansion.

    Larijani, who has strong ties to the Iranian regime, said: “Trump has done something so that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago.

    “As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It’s very simple.”

    Trump laughed off the threat and said: “I guess it’s a threat. I’m not sure it’s a threat, actually, but perhaps it is.”

    Larijani’s comments came after an online platform called “blood pact” began raising funds to “punish those who threaten Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.”

    A statement on the site said: “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.”

    It is not clear who operates the site.

    However, just days ago, a top Iranian cleric issued a fatwa calling for the death of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    In the Islamic religious decree, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi branded both leaders as “enemies of God”.

    The Shiite cleric issued the fatwa after the 12-Day war between Israel and Iran, which was also briefly joined by the US following American military strikes against Tehran.

    It effectively states that Trump and Netanyahu “waged war against [Allah] and must be made to regret their words and actions.

    “Those who threaten the leadership and integrity of the Islamic Ummah are to be considered [mohareb],” it added.

    Under the Iranian under Iranian penal code, mohareb – someone who wages war against god – must be punished by “execution or crucifixion” or face “amputation of the right hand and left foot or exile”.

    The fatwa also forbids any Muslim to cooperate with or support the two leaders – and says that any jihadist who is killed while attacking them will receive a reward from Allah.

    It reads: “It is necessary for all Muslims around the world to make these enemies regret their words and mistakes.

    “[A] Muslim who abides by his Muslim duty and suffers hardship or loss in their campaign, they will  be rewarded as a fighter in the way of God, God willing.”

    Last year, an Iranian agent was charged with plotting to kill Donald Trump in an assassination that would have shaken the world.

    US prosecutors say the rogue state told ex-con Farhad Shakeri — said to be hiding in Tehran — to devise a seven-day plan to spy on and murder him.

    Prosecutors said an official in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard told Shakeri to devise a plan to eliminate the then-president-elect.

    They claim the planned hit was an attempt to take vengeance for a US drone strike ordered by Trump that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, then said to be the world’s No1 terrorist, in 2020.

    Trump’s former security advisor, John Bolton, said the US President is “at the top” of an “assassination list” from the Middle East nation.

    He said in an interview: “Iran’s terror network is really quite extensive in Europe and in the United States.”

    Critics of the Mullahs’ regime have condemned the fatwa, calling it a state-endorsed incitement to global terrorism.

    Trump said he saved Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from an “ugly death”.

    During the 12-Day War, the Israelis, on multiple occasions, suggested that targeting Ayatollah Khamenei was “not off the table”.

    But Trump, who said he knew exactly where the supreme leader had been hiding, did not let the US forces or the IDF” assassinate Khamenei.

    In a Truth Social post, Trump raged: “I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH.

    “And he does not have to say, ‘THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!’

    “I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life.”

    Trump also blasted the Ayatollah’s claims that Iran won the war.

    He said: “Why would the so-called ‘Supreme Leader,’ Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war-torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so.

    “As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie.”

    Iran’s top mullah Khamenei, 86, claimed victory over Israel and America despite his country being hammered for almost two weeks.

    He ludicrously claimed Iran had almost crushed Israel, and the government in Tel Aviv was on the verge of collapse.

    That’s despite the IDF controlling the skies over Tehran, assassinating dozens of top generals and nuclear scientists, and destroying dozens of valuable missile batteries in just 12 days of fighting.

    Khamenei also said that Iran had given the US a “severe slap” to its face and that it had “gained nothing” from the attack on Iran’s nuke plants.

    The Ayatollah said: “The American regime entered a direct war because it felt that if it did not, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed.

    “However, it gained no achievements from this war.

    “Here, too, the Islamic Republic emerged victorious, and in return, the Islamic Republic delivered a severe slap to America’s face.

    Iran’s ‘medieval’ fatwa could spark homegrown terror attacks

    EXCLUSIVE by Katie Davis, Chief Foreign Reporter, Digital

    IRAN’S “medieval” regime demanding Donald Trump be crucified could provoke “homegrown terrorist attacks”, top politicians warn.

    Warped Ayatollahs issued a call to arms to Muslims urging them to make the US president “regret his actions” – branding him an “enemy of God”.

    Fatwas – religious edicts – have been levelled against Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu by senior mullahs under the Islamic penal code “mohareb” – waging war against God.

    Sharia law states those charged must not only be killed but also tortured prior to death, including through crucifixion and limb amputation.

    Senior cleric Najmuddin Tabasi vowed Trump “must be executed” and said “the same hand that fired a shot past his ear can put a bullet through his throat” – referring to an assassination attempt last July.

    A sickening fundraiser has even been set up by hardline Iranian cleric Abdolmajid Kharahaani to hire an assassin to murder Trump and Israeli prime minister Netanyahu.

    United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Chairman Governor Jeb Bush, CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, and Senior Advisor Rt. Hon. Tom Tugendhat MP insisted the mullahs must be urgently sanctioned.

    They also warned how high-ranking regime enforcers are in contact with individuals in both the US and Europe.

    In a statement shared exclusively with The Sun, Bush, Wallace and Tugendhat said: “The Iranian regime’s medieval and barbaric threats against the US president and others cannot be ignored – and must not go unanswered.

    “The US government and its allies should immediately sanction Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba Khamenei, Makarem-Shirazi, Hamedani, Tabasi, and Panahian, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.

    “None of these men have been sanctioned to date under counterterrorism authorities.

    “Additionally, the US Justice Department should seek indictments against these men and American law enforcement should partner with its allies to request INTERPOL Red Notices for issuing threats to internationally protected individuals.”

    MURDEROUS TERROR PLOT

    Iran may activate a network of sleeper cells across the West in the face of the Israeli bombing campaign, experts have warned.

    A weakened Tehran is expected to resort to asymmetric terror warfare in a bid to destabilise its adversaries.

    Barak Seener, a security and defence expert at Henry Jackson Society and Iran expert, said: “The very fact now that the Iranian regime is volatile, it’s targeted, and it’s highly vulnerable — that’s what actually makes it increasingly dangerous to the West.”

    Iran’s murderous Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is thought to run an extensive network of sleeper cells across the world.

    Mr Seener told The Sun that these sleeper cells could be regular people living regular lives.

    But when given the signal, they could carry out terrorist activities targeting the West.

    These terror operations could target public infrastructure and even civilians, with no weapons off the table, experts warn.

    Iran's terror on UK streets

    By Sayan Bose, Foreign News Reporter

    Iran-fuelled hit squads on the streets of the UK have been linked to at least 15 threats to kill or kidnap detected by authorities.

    They are all part of a campaign of intimidation aimed at those who speak out against the hardline regime.

    The MI5 has accused Tehran of more than a dozen assassination and kidnap plots in Britain against dissidents and media organisations in the past two years.

    Officials have previously warned that the threat against Iranian critics living in the UK has ramped up drastically after the horror October 7 attacks.

    And given the hostile situation in the Middle East, Iran could ramp up its secret terror activities in the UK, Europe and the US, experts fear.

    In 2022, Major Gen Hossein Salami, the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC warned: “You’ve tried us before. Watch out because we’re coming for you.”

    Last year, Iranian TV journalist Pouria Zeraati was stabbed outside his home in London, sparking an investigation led by counter-terrorism police.

    The suspects were believed to be proxy agents hired by Tehran.

    Mr Zeraati works for Iran International, a London-based Persian-speaking channel which has reported on Iran’s human rights violations.

    He said a man approached him and asked for £3 before another man appeared and stabbed him in the leg.

    The two fled in a car being driven by a third man, leaving Mr Zeraati bleeding in the street.

    Investigators believed the three culprits were able to flee the country on a flight from Heathrow within hours of the attack.

    Mr Zeraati, whose organisation has been a vocal critic of Iran, said the attack was a “warning shot” from Tehran.

    He called on the UK government to declare the IRGC a terrorist group to stop it from spreading its doctrine.

    He said: “It will also send a clear message to the regime in Iran that enough is enough.

    “The whole of Western civilisation is in danger because of the threat the IRGC poses.”

    A report by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) found almost half of journalists who covered Iran from the UK reported being physically or verbally harassed in the past five years.

    Individuals have been sent death threats by text and voice notes, with one message noting that the “water underneath Westminster Bridge was very deep”.

    One said they were constantly worried about Iran targeting their children, saying: “I wake up in the middle of the night. I check my son to see if he’s there. I won’t let him play in the garden on his own. I have to be there. I’m on alert constantly.”

    Another reporter told the RSF she had a package, which was designed to look like it contained anthrax, hand-delivered to her apartment block.

    While female TV journalist was approached on a London bus by a man who told her: “We will kill you. You are a very bad person.”

    All of them are understood to have voiced their dissent against Tehran.

    Mr Seener told The Sun: “They live amongst us in regular communities, have regular jobs, and they just are awaiting being activated to conduct malign activities, whether it be through a telephone text or a beeper, and then they already know what they are going to be doing.

    “If the regime feels threatened and on the verge of being toppled, then they may say, ‘you’re going to go down with us,’ and at that point they may unleash their sleeper cells.”

    Mr Seener said the attacks could range from an attack against a synagogue, an embassy, or blowing up a dirty bomb in Central London.

    Sir Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, warned back in October that Iran could turn on UK targets if it felt Britain was too enthusiastic in its support for Israel.

    He said the attacks could increase if the Middle East conflict intensifies.

    In August, Matt Jukes, the head of Counter Terror Policing, warned that Britain is facing an increase in plots by hostile states.

    He said Iranian dissidents and diaspora communities have been “clearly at risk of kidnapping or assassination”.

    “These are people who are doing it daily. And when you are projecting soft power, you’re creating the cultural milieu in which terrorism can be conducted much more readily.

    Counterterror police have investigated 15 of these cases alongside MI5.

    MI5 has responded to 20 plots backed by Iran since 2022, it was reported.
