An Iranian movement called the “Blood Covenant” is claiming to have crowdfunded more than $40 million as a reward for assassinating President Donald Trump, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). 

A website for the movement contained a poster of Trump in crosshairs with an appeal to donate “in order to ‘help establish stable peace,’” the nonprofit reported. It added that the poster quotes a verse from the Quran that reads, “Strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.” 

“This is a call to jihad, inviting believers to donate their money and sacrifice their lives,” MEMRI said. “The poster lends religious legitimacy to assassinating Trump.” 

The apparent threat comes weeks after the U.S. launched devastating airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. A U.S. Secret Service official told Fox News “We operate in a heightened and very dynamic threat environment and the safety and security of the President and all of our protectees remains our highest priority.

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies alleged that an Iranian national and former employee for the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting – which it described as “the regime’s main propaganda network” – is behind the creation of the “Blood Covenant” website. 

The State Department did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

A senior State Department official said the Trump administration is aware of the threats against the president, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
