The website of Iran’s supreme leader has published an animated video that shows a robotic vehicle attempting to assassinate former president Donald Trump.
The video was reportedly made as part of a contest to mark the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Jan. 3, 2020. He was killed in an American drone strike in Baghdad.
Posted on the website of Khamenei’s office Wednesday, the video shows Trump on the golf course at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, being targeted by a drone.
In the video, a message is shown on a phone reading “Soleimani’s murderer and the one who gave the order will pay the price”.
It is similar to a propaganda poster from last year showing Trump on a golf course, calling for revenge for Soleimani’s death.
Iran’s hardline President Ebrahim Raisi demanded earlier this month that Trump be “prosecuted and killed”. “If not, I’m telling all American leaders, don’t doubt that the hand of revenge will come out of the sleeves of ummah,” he said, referring to Muslims worldwide.
Last year, Iran asked Interpol to issue a “red notice” for the arrest of Trump and 47 U.S. officials, citing the killing of Soleimani, a powerful Iranian general.
Interpol denied the request, stating that it will not consider red notices that are motivated by political or military concerns.
This is not the first time Iran has asked for help in detaining the U.S. president. The country previously asked for Ronald Reagan’s arrest.
