At the funeral of General Qassem Soleimani, a man urges Iranians to raise $80 million that will be rewarded to someone who gets to kill the U.S. president.

AceShowbiz - Iranians have reportedly planned retaliation after Donald Trump ordered a U.S. airstrike that killed Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force, a specialized unit in the Revolutionary Guards. According to multiple reports, Iran has placed a huge bounty on the U.S. president's head.

During funeral procession of General Soleimani, huge crowds were marching in protest before a man, thought to be one of the funeral organizers, urged people to raise $80 million that will be rewarded to someone who gets to kill Trump.

"On behalf of all of Iran's people - 80 million Iranians - and each puts aside US$1, it would equal $80million," the man was heard saying in a video. "And we would give this $80 million, on our own behalf, as a gift to anyone who brings the head of the person who ordered the murder of the grand figure of our revolution. Anyone who brings us the head of this yellow-haired lunatic, we would give him $80million on behalf of the great Iranian nation. Chant if you agree."

The funeral procession was being broadcast live on Iran's Channel One as the eulogist made his proposal. However, it is yet to be known that the call for a bounty on Trump has been authorized by, or represent the official position of, Iranian authorities. Due to the nature of the situation when the proposal was made, it should be noted that it could simply be political rhetoric.

Meanwhile, Iranian Labour News Agency reported earlier on Sunday, January 5 that Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi warned the country could respond to the general's death on U.S. soil. He said, "We can attack the White House itself, we can respond to them on the American soil. We have the power, and God willing we will respond in an appropriate time."

Mr Abutorabi added, "This is a declaration of war, which means if you hesitate you lose. When someone declares war do you want to respond to the bullets with flowers? They will shoot you in the head."

Trump himself has tried to justify the attack at Baghdad's international airport that killed Soleimani on January 2. He tweeted on Saturday, "Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently hundreds of Iranian protesters."

"He was already attacking our Embassy, and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years," he continued. "Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!"

Taunting Iran if the country ever strikes back, Trump added, "They attacked us, & we hit back. If they attack again, which I would strongly advise them not to do, we will hit them harder than they have ever been hit before!" He went on claiming, "The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"
