A viral SMS campaign in Iran is drawing widespread attention after raising millions in pledges for a bounty on US President Donald Trump. Mass text messages sent to mobile users nationwide allegedly promote what they term an 'international campaign to reward the assassination of Trump'. The messages direct recipients to register their support through a website or by replying via SMS to confirm participation.
Monitoring groups say the effort has rapidly built momentum, with hundreds of thousands of Iranians responding to the calls. The development comes as relations between the two countries remain highly charged.
