Blood Covenant: Iranian website raises $40M bounty to assassinate Trump
The platform claims to have already raised over USD 40 million from supporters, although the figures remain unverified and the site's operators are unknown.
The campaign, launched in response to what it calls 'American-Zionist infanticide' and threats against Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, describes its goal as delivering 'justice' to those who have harmed Iran and its leadership.
The website declares, 'We pledge to award the bounty to anyone who can bring the enemies of God and those who threaten the life of Ali Khamenei to justice.'
The website denies any affiliation with official bodies and frames its campaign as a grassroots response to years of what it describes as 'US state terrorism.' One message on the site reads, 'This campaign is not funding terrorism. It is funding the fight against U.S. state terrorism.'
Another post justifies the campaign in emotional and ideological terms, 'Silent in the face of American-Zionist infanticide, assassination of scientists and high-ranking commanders… now they are worried about Trump's life and are bewilderedly condemning the campaign.'
In an attempt to cool international tensions, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian distanced his administration from the any assassination campaigns during an interview with US media personality Tucker Carlson earlier this week.
'The fatwa of warfare has nothing to do with the Iranian government or the Supreme Leader,' Pezeshkian said.

Trump denounces 'Epstein Hoax' as MAGA rift grows over Musk's calls for transparency
ALBAWABA- U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed mounting pressure over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, denouncing it as 'just another hoax' in a combative Truth Social post that criticized Democrats and former supporters alike. 'Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,' Trump wrote, comparing it to what he called previous smear campaigns, including the Steele dossier, the Russia investigation, and the 'Laptop from Hell.' He ridiculed those demanding answers, stating: 'I don't want their support anymore,' accusing them of falling for 'bullshit' spread by 'the Lunatic Left.' Donald J. Trump Truth Social 07.16.25 09:43 AM EST The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 'Intelligence' Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came… — Fan Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) July 16, 2025 The renewed controversy centers around the long-awaited 'Epstein files'—a trove of documents collected by the Department of Justice and the FBI detailing the late financier's global sex-trafficking network. These files reportedly contain flight logs, victim testimonies, contact records, and a rumored 'client list' of powerful individuals. Despite public anticipation and past promises, most notably from former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who once claimed the list was 'on my desk', the FBI recently concluded no such client list exists and reaffirmed that Epstein's death in 2019 was a suicide. The announcement triggered outrage among many in Trump's own base, especially those who view the files as key to exposing elite corruption. Adding fuel to the fire, Elon Musk tweeted in June that 'DonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,' implying Trump's name appears in the sealed documents. He later doubled down and called on the president to release the files 'as promised,' a move that has intensified public scrutiny and caused fractures within the MAGA movement. Prominent conservative figures such as Mike Flynn, Laura Loomer, and Steve Bannon have sided with Musk, demanding full transparency, while others have rallied behind Trump's defiance. Rather than address the claim directly, Trump has aggressively downplayed the issue, calling it 'boring' and politically motivated. He defended Pam Bondi's role and attacked the media, accusing them of fueling a narrative designed to distract from what he describes as his 'unprecedented success' in office. Trump's strategy suggests an attempt to reassert control over a political base that appears increasingly divided between unconditional loyalty and a populist demand for accountability. At the heart of the dispute lies a critical question: Is Trump named in the Epstein files, and if so, why hasn't he fulfilled demands for transparency? While Musk and other critics insist the public has a right to know, Trump has reframed the calls for disclosure as disloyalty. The controversy underscores a deeper rift within the conservative movement, pitting populist demands for truth against Trump's attempt to centralize control and move past scandal fatigue.

Trump administration to burn food meant for 1.5 million children
The Trump administration has ordered the destruction of nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food rather than sending it to starving populations abroad, according to a report by The Atlantic. The stockpile, enough to feed an estimated 1.5 million children for a week, is set to expire, with plans already in place to burn it in the coming weeks. The high-energy biscuits, purchased by USAID during the final months of the Biden administration at a cost of roughly USD 800,000, were intended for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. These rations are designed to meet the full nutritional needs of children under five in disaster or war zones and are often used by the World Food Programme (WFP) as an immediate measure to support displaced families. The biscuits were stored in a Dubai warehouse, awaiting distribution, but have been stuck there since January, when the Trump administration halted nearly all US foreign aid through an executive order. Career USAID staff repeatedly requested permission to ship the food before it spoiled, but according to two USAID employees, their memos went unanswered. Decision-making authority was placed in the hands of political appointees after the dismantling of USAID by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Initially, approval rested with Pete Marocco, a Trump-era official, and later with Jeremy Lewin, a young lawyer now overseeing both USAID and State Department aid operations. Neither provided authorization to move the food, aid workers said. The destruction order directly contradicts public assurances from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who told Congress in May that he would ensure food reached its intended recipients before expiring. By that time, however, the incineration order had already been signed. Taxpayers will now foot an additional USD 130,000 bill to destroy the biscuits. 'This is unprecedented,' said one longtime USAID worker, noting that typical food losses due to conflict or poor storage amount to only a few dozen tons a year. The loss comes as global hunger surges. The WFP has warned that 58 million people face extreme hunger this year, while in Afghanistan, only one in 10 people in urgent need receives food aid. According to one USAID employee's calculations, the biscuits slated for destruction could have fed every child facing acute food insecurity in Gaza for a full week. The biscuits are part of a wider backlog. USAID records show more than 60,000 metric tons of food remain stuck in warehouses worldwide, including 36,000 pounds of peas, oil, and cereal stored in Djibouti for Sudan and the Horn of Africa. With many supply-chain experts and humanitarian workers laid off, even food that has not yet expired risks meeting the same fate.
