Iran's Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has issued a religious decree, or fatwa, calling on Muslims worldwide to kill U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The fatwa labels both leaders as "enemies of God" and "muharib," a term in Islamic law meaning those waging war against God, which carries the death penalty. This decree is reportedly a response to threats against Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and recent strikes on Iran's nuclear sites attributed to Trump-backed operations.

The fatwa urges Muslims globally to take action against Trump and Netanyahu, framing it as a religious obligation. Another senior Iranian Shia cleric, Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani, has issued a similar fatwa against any individual or government threatening Khamenei, reinforcing the call for violent reprisals. The fatwa has raised concerns about escalating tensions and potential for increased violence targeting the U.S. and Israel. The decree is viewed as a significant religious and political statement from Iran's hardline clerical establishment amid ongoing conflicts involving Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.

Referring to the 12-day war with Israel, Ahmad Khatami, the imam of Tehran Friday, said: “America and Israel have threatened the province, which is stupid. TRUMP AND NETANYAHU'S MANDATE IS EXECUTION.” He added: “They are murderers, murderers. They threatened the Imam and the nation.”

In a July 13 prayer sermon, Tehran's interim imam Ahmad Khatami said Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu deserved to be executed for threatening the Islamic Republic's leader. Citing jurisprudential rulings, he described the two's charges as “unlawfully charged” and “Moharib with Allah and the Messenger” and said their sharia sentence was execution.

The fatwas by Iranian regime ayatollahs calling for the crucifixion & assassination of @realDonaldTrump, @Netanyahu, & others are reprehensible. @Mark_D_Wallace, @TomTugendhat, & I call for sanctions, indictments, & immigration reviews in response.
