On April 21, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM) reported on a statement released the previous day by Harakat Ashab Al-Yamin Al Islamiya (HAYI) – the pro-Iran group that emerged in March 2026 and has claimed responsibility for terror attacks across Europe.
In the statement, the group threatened President Trump and his family, saying that “[r]etribution will pursue you, and it will pursue your children and your sons-in-law.” Hinting that it had nearly assassinated his daughter Ivanka 13 days previously, it called on “the free people of the American nation,” including government agencies and “victims of Epstein Island,” to kill him.
The statement was released by a number of Telegram channels that support the Iran-backed Iraqi Shi’ite militias, in Arabic and English versions. One of the channels identified HAYI as “belonging to the Iraqi resistance.”
Below is the text of the statement, as reported by the MEMRI JTTM.
The statement opened with a Quranic quote: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution [5:45].”
Addressing Trump, it said: “You reckless president, you arrogant one, you clown, you who are addicted to tweets, consumed by fame, fond of fried chicken and morning croissants – child abuser.”
Describing Ivanka Trump as a woman who was “cast into the arms of men, adorning her face with ease, breathing with delight whenever she found herself at the side of a wealthy or influential man,” the statement lists men with whom she formerly had relationships – their names misspelled in English – along with her husband, Jared Kushner. The statement tells Trump: “Your daughter stood on the brink of death thirteen days ago, yet our men do not kill prostitutes.”
Threatening the U.S. president, the pro-Iran group declared: “Retribution will pursue you, and it will pursue your children and your sons-in-law.” It called on “the free people of the American nation, especially the security services, the Secret Service, and the victims of Epstein Island” to “avenge this disgrace and kill this arrogant, criminal tyrant, Trump.”
