Hanif Jazayeri posted a tweet stating that Iran had placed an $80 million bounty on the head of U.S. President Donald Trump in retaliation for a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani: The EN24 website similarly reported that the offer had been made on Iranian state television, and the amount of the bounty was based on Iran's population: The video attached to social media reports of the bounty showed large crowds mourning and/or protesting Soleimani's death, with a male voice said to be that of a eulogist at Soleimani's funeral procession seemingly calling for the placement of a bounty on Trump's head: A Heavy article on the subject stated it was a little misleading to say that Iranian state television had announced the bounty, because it was the eulogist who made that announcement, not state TV. It was, however, being broadcast on state TV.
