A student-group poster has been circulated in Iran which placed $100,000 bounty on blowing up the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

"Unfortunately, terrorism directed toward diplomats and embassies has become a central pillar of the Islamic Republic's culture," former Pentagon adviser Michael Rubin told the Free Beacon. "Terrorism is lionized in Iranian schools. This bounty is more the rule than the exception. To blame Washington or Jerusalem is to blame the victim and give terrorists a veto over U.S. policy."

The Justice Seeker Student Movement circulated the poster, which was first reported by the University Student News Network, according to a Free Beacon Farsi-language translation of the poster.

"This is nothing short of an invitation to a heinous act of an international terror by a student group that looks up to the world's foremost state sponsor of terror — the Islamic Republic of Iran," Foundation for Defense of Democracies research fellow Behnam Ben Taleblu told the Free Beacon.

The Farsi translation of the poster declared a "$100,000 dollar prize for the person who destroys the illegal American embassy in Jerusalem," according to the reports.

President Donald Trump has officially enacted what has been signed U.S. policy for decades, declaring Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel and moving the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.

"The steps by Trump to transfer the US Embassy to Holy Qods [Jerusalem] has led to the anger and hatred of Muslims and liberators throughout the world," according to a Free Beacon translation of the original University Student News Network report.
