I was just listening to Public Radio. Is anyone concerned that IRAN put a $3 million "bounty" to assassinate POTUS?

I was just listening to Public Radio. In the news, they stated that IRAN has put a bounty of $3,000,000 to assassinate POTUS TRUMP. Is anyone else concerned in the escalation of hostilities? - or is IRAN just sabre waving?

They definitely want to start a war.

My question is what are they going to use to pay this bounty, their currency is not worth a piece of used toilet paper, but wait if they still have some of that cash Obama sent them I guess they could use that.

This is a sure sign that Trump is doing something right.
It is also indicative that there won't be any negotiations.

PO2 Robert M. - I wonder what the bounty is around the world for the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, Since 1989... As for the bounty IRAN has placed on POTUS Trump, I am concerned with the escalation, but that should mean more sanctions and the surgical excision of Key Iranian Terrorists!!!

Well, they are sister honor killing, gay murdering, little boy molesting jerks, and that is just the things they own up to. Someday, when they climb their non-toilet paper using asses up out of the dark ages, they may be worth listening to. Until then, I pay them no heed.

It's concerning anytime anyone puts a bounty up on a President of the US. It encourages people that might not otherwise but the reality of a successful attack? LOw to almost nil.

Here is the thing. Iran is sabre rattling. That is all. They were rattling when they launched the few dozen SCUDS and they are doing so now. They know that they cannot match us, even if they strike with proxies. Why? Because we can pull back and hit them and they have nothing that could strike at us. Their systems are obsolete. Their air force is old era soviet union fighters and bombers and a few that we sold them way back. Nothing current. Their navy is a joke, even the swarm ship concept they have.

Their one threat is IF we ended up putting boots on the ground and if we are smart, we never will. We simply pound them from afar with relentless artillery, air sorties and missile strikes. They are already being crippled with sanctions as is.

Seems low and I thought we heard an offer in tens of millions after our strike.

Nope, because how crazy do you really have to be to kill a Billionaire for a paltry $3 million when you can get far more from the Billionaire for not killing him. The whole proposal was poorly thought out. Not saying I endorse it either but think it through.

Their regime has been yelling "death to America" since Reagan got our hostages released. Concerned? I'm sure some looney leftist will try to collect. Be vigilant!
