Ignore the call to assassinate Trump coming from Iran

Published January 22, 2020 5:44pm ET



It wouldn’t be the first time in recent memory that Iran has attempted to assassinate someone in Washington, but Iran is not going to try to assassinate President Trump anytime soon.

I note this in light of comments from an Iranian parliamentarian, Ahmad Hamza, on Tuesday. Hamza is a representative from Kerman Province, the birthplace of Qassem Soleimani. And according to the Farsi version (thanks, Google Translate) of Iran’s ISNA, Hamza stated that Iran “will give $3 million in cash to anyone who kills Trump.”
