Iran has placed an $80 million bounty on Donald Trump's head and threatened to attack the White House in response to the president's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation.
This morning we told you that
the Iraqi parliament was voting on whether or not to expel American forces from Iraq, and I can tell you now that they did indeed vote to remove US military troops. At the same time over in Iran, their parliament was also voting on action to take, and well, what they voted to do is a doozy.
A raucous assembly of furious Iranian politicians have decided to immediately begin enriching uranium for nuclear weapons, with no limits to that enrichment adhered to. And as the entire assembly began shouting 'Death To America!' they announced they would pay $80 million dollars to the person or group who kills President Trump. Makes me wonder which Democrat will try and collect it. All bluster aside, Iran is absolutely overflowing with anger, and this will not end without bloodshed, and most likely lots of it. Are you ready for what comes next?
Iran has also announced that the country will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal
FROM DAILY MAIL UK: An organizer for a funeral procession for General Qassem Soleimani called on all Iranians to donate $1 each 'in order to gather an $80 million bounty on President Trump's head'. The organizer made the remarks during the procession in Mashad.
Iran has also announced it they will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal. A statement issued by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's administration said the country will not observe limitations on its enrichment, the amount of stockpiled enriched uranium as well as research and development in its nuclear activities.
It did not elaborate on what levels it would immediately reach in its program. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations watchdog observing Iran's program, could not be immediately reach for comment.
Earlier on Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted for US troops to be expelled from the country. The vote will 'obligate the government to work towards ending the presence of all foreign troops on Iraqi soil,' the country's media office stated.
As tensions escalate after Soleimani's death, Iranian MP Abolfazl Abutorabi threatened to launch an attack on American soil in retaliation.
'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,' Abutorabi said, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency.
Abutorabi went on to say that '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,' he added.
Abutorabi's threat was made during an open session of parliament in Tehran just days after Iranian military Soleimani was killed in a drone strike on Friday at Baghdad airport. Soleimani was the architect of Tehran's overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force.

Massive crowds attend funeral processions as Soleimani's body returned to Iran
Large crowds gathered across Iran on Sunday for a funeral ceremony for general Qassem Suleimani, the slain head of Iran's elite Quds force. In the northeast city of Mashhad, mourners accompanied a casket carrying Suleimani's remains. Earlier that day, his body had been taken to Ahvaz, southwestern Iran, a city that was a focus of fighting during the bloody, 1980-88 war between Iraq and Iran in which the general slowly grew to prominence. Iran threatened 'harsh retaliation' for the US strike that killed the top military commander, and Trump has said the US would strike 52 sites in the Islamic Republic if any Americans are harmed. Trump vows to hit 52 sites 'very hard' if Iran retaliates for Suleimani killing
