Donald Trump’s properties in the U.S. and other countries were said to be Tehran’s targets as a retaliation to the killing of Iranian general on Jan. 3. Qassem Soleimani, a powerful figure in Iran and also a leader in the elite Quds military force was killed via an airstrike in Baghdad, Iraq.
An Iranian politician and advisor to President Rouhani, Hesameddin Ashena, seems to have suggested that they will strike back with the intention of hurting Trump on a personal level as they think the president of the U.S. is the sole responsible for the chaos. Apparently, the attack was ordered by the POTUS thus the Iranians are targeting only him for revenge.
According to The Daily Mail, the advisor hinted that they are targeting Trump’s properties that include the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the Trump Tower in New York, the 40 Wall Street, Trump Plaza, Trump International Hotel and Tower New York, Trump Parc East, Trump World Tower, 1290 Avenue of Americas and Niketown. He also has golf clubs in the U.S., Scotland and Ireland, and several homes across America that could also be in the list of potential targets. On top of these, the publication reported that the Iranians put an $80 million bounty on Trump's head.
This information was divulged when Ashena posted a tweet on Jan. 5 but there was no description or caption. He shared a link to Forbes’ page featuring Trump’s properties and this clearly gives the idea of what they are planning to do once they retaliate on Trump alone as they are excluding the American people.
“We have ZERO problems with the American people. We even achieved deals with previous US administrations,” Ashena tweeted. “Our sole problem is Trump. In the event of war, it is he who will bear full responsibility.”
Iran believes that Trump launched the attack to move the attention away from his impeachment proceedings. This was revealed when the advisor retweeted a post made by the POTUS where he was complaining about the impeachment case hurled against him by the House of Representatives. In that post, Trump said that the officials are wasting time when they have a lot of important matters pending.
Ashena deduced that last Friday’s attack was done as a distraction. “The relationship between terror and impeachment became clear,” he said.
Meanwhile, thousands of mourners lined up the streets for Soleimani’s funeral and seeing this, some Americans stated that Donald Trump has no idea of what he has done. One even wrote: “Myself and many millions of Americans are disgusted & ashamed of US military aggression toward our Middle Eastern brothers & sisters. We’re fighting hard to defeat, not only Trump but also all the foolish-minded people who push for war & violence before diplomacy.”
