The video depicts Trump \u2063in a\u2063 sniper&#8217;s crosshairs\u2062 and features audio from a speech by former IRGC leader\u2062 Qassem Soleimani, emphasizing the organization&#8217;s ongoing \u200dthreat to \u2063Trump. The closing\u200d message of the \u200cvideo warns that &#8220;unfinished work will be \u2064finished soon.&#8221; The IRGC, which reports to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has long viewed Trump as \u2063a target, especially following the 2020 order to eliminate Soleimani. This recent threat underscores the ongoing tensions\u2063 between the U.S. and Iran, particularly regarding Trump&#8217;s previous actions against the IRGC.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Iran-affiliated Telegram account posts video threatening to assassinate Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1875283\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sickening-video-shows-antifa-allegedly-stab-4-trump-supporters-in-washington-dc\/\" title=\"Sickening Video Shows Antifa Allegedly Stab 4 Trump Supporters in Washington DC\">social media account<\/a> associated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a> posted a video threatening to assassinate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">President-elect Donald Trump<\/a> hours after he secured a second term.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Bisimchi Media, an account on the social media platform Telegram affiliated with the IRGC, <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/BisimchiMedia\/133647\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">posted a video<\/a> showing an edit of Trump in a sniper&rsquo;s crosshairs and spitting up blood.<\/p>\n<p>The post features video clips of Trump and members of the U.S. military dubbed over with audio from a speech given by former IRGC Quds-Force Chief Qassem Soleimani.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Oh Mr. Trump, the gambler!
