Areligious decree or fatwa issued by two senior Iranian clerics calling for the killing of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly gained support from about 10 other clerics and attracted alleged fundraising online.
The ten state-appointed clerics issued an open letter on Monday referring to US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister as "infidel combatants", an Islamic legal term for a non-believer at war with Muslims who deserves death.
In a speech delivered in Azeri, another state-appointed cleric in Iran's West Azarbaijan Province announced a reward of 100 billion tomans (approximately $1.14 million) for anyone who kills Trump.
“We will give 100 billion tomans to anyone who brings the head of Trump,” said Mansour Emami, the provincial director of the official Islamic Propagation Organization in West Azerbaijan.
An Iranian website, thaar.ir, alleged that it was running a public campaign to solicit money for the assassination of Trump. The site most recently displayed more than $20 million raised.
There was no immediate confirmation of the authenticity of the figure.
During an interview with US media personality Tucker Carlson aired on Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian distanced the Iranian government from the religious decrees, saying that they are not directed at any specific person.
“To the best of my knowledge, they have not issued decrees or fatwas against any individual or against Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with the Iranian government or the Supreme Leader of Iran,” Pezeshkian said.
Last month, Alireza Panahian, a hardline Iranian cleric close to the Supreme Leader, called on Muslims to kill Trump and Netanyahu in retaliation for their threats on the life of Khamenei during a 12-day war.
Panahian cited fatwas labeling those who made such a threat a “mohareb,” or enemy of God.
Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi and Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani had previously issued separate fatwas against Trump and Netanyahu. In his statement, Shirazi declared:
“Any regime or individual threatening the leaders of the Islamic Ummah (nation) and acting on those threats qualifies as a mohareb.”
Ahmad Alamolhoda, Khamenei’s representative in Iran's Razavi Khorasan Province, on Monday expressed support for the two clerics' fatwa.
“Labeling those who insult or violate the sanctity of the Supreme Leader as apostates and enemies of God will strengthen the foundations of the Islamic Republic and the Revolution," Alamolhoda said.
In 1989, Iran’s former leader Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against British author Salman Rushdie for allegedly blaspheming Islam in his novel The Satanic Verses.
Despite living under heavy security for decades, Rushdie was stabbed and blinded in one eye by an assailant in New York in 2022—an attack widely linked to Khomeini’s fatwa.
One drawback of Christianity is “as we forgive those who trespass against us”. We are loath to take preemptive action against those who hate us.
The only ones ready to take him up on it are Democrat El Salvador Conjugal visitors, the Alphabet Q’ers, the Anti-Jew murderers, the Mexican flag waving, Old Glory burners, the Anti-Teslers, IOW: America haters.
I can only imagine a world in which the one who threatens an American President quickly meets the demise of themself as well as their lineage.
Talking about a message being sent .....
Should have taken him up the radical clergy when they had the chance.
The House Egghead Cockeye, Skyhook, Bookie and Airheadya will probably do the fundraising. They want’ their “reparations” checks for all the cotton they picked.
Soon, but not yet.
The Mossad can take the Ayatollah and other out in a heartbeat. If someone is threatening to kill you, they should be eliminated. Why ignore them?
Regime change and decapitation strikes are OK when we do it.
Approx. $2.3 million. I'd say the CIA spent more than that on their attempt at Butler, PA.
That’s a fair statement.
IRAN and it's clerics intend to use the Hydrogen bomb against Israel and the United States. We're not just considering they want to eliminate our President but two whole nations. Why are we so against taking the Ayatollah and his henchmen out balancing that against the destruction of the populations of two nations? Is this question too difficult to answer?
As King Henry II supposedly said regarding Thomas a Becket “will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”
BTTT
I was speaking more on a personal level than a national level. The individual Christian typically takes pause at preemptively defending himself. Love your enemy.
Like to see the list of Democrats contributing.
Call the Mossad to get these clowns location and fire up the B-2’sl
These idiots need to be told in no uncertain terms if any attempt is made on the lives of President Trump or any of his family and they are behind it, well, they can kiss their stinking little country goodbye.
And to show that we mean business take out Qom while we’re at it.
WE NOW KNOW WHERE THE NEXT FLIGHT OF B-2’S IS HEADED
