  • An Iranian news agency, Fars, published a video with the English title "Where to kill Trump?"
  • The video reportedly suggests potential assassination locations for Donald Trump, including a bridge near his Florida residence.
  • The content has sparked outrage, and the Fars agency is known for its close ties to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The Iranian news agency Fars has ignited significant controversy with the release of a video titled "Where to kill Trump?" The video, disseminated on social media platforms including Fars's Telegram channel, has been widely interpreted as a call for the assassination of former US President Donald Trump.

Fars News Agency is recognized for its close connections to Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), adding a layer of gravity to the video's content. The video reportedly depicts the route taken by Trump's motorcade to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. It highlights a specific bridge as a potential vulnerability, though reports indicate the depicted route does not align with publicly available maps of the area.

Further complicating the narrative, the actual route used by Trump in Florida was reportedly altered in January following the detection of a suspicious object near a local airport. The video's suggestion of a specific location for a potential attack has drawn sharp criticism and condemnation.

The publication of this video has led to widespread outrage, with many viewing it as a direct threat and a concerning escalation of rhetoric. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions and hostile exchanges between Iran and the United States, particularly concerning political figures.
