Following actions by America and Israel concerning Iran's nuclear program, a prominent Shia cleric in Tehran has issued a fatwa against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to a report from the New York Sun, Shia cleric Naser Makarem Shirazi has released a fatwa urging Muslims globally to unite. The edict states that anyone or any government that poses a threat to the global Islamic community's leadership will be appropriately confronted. Those threatening or attempting to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader will face Allah's wrath. Such actions are seen as insults to Allah and a declaration of war against Him.

Recently, we have observed repeated threats issued by the American President and Israeli leaders against Iran's Supreme Leader. Regarding the threats of assassination against the Supreme Leader, what is the duty of the Islamic community and its leadership?

The fatwa further states that anyone planning the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader or religious leaders is subject to the harshest penalties under Islamic law. It is imperative for all Muslims worldwide to recognize these enemies and respond with strength. If they do not receive severe punishment, the reward for jihad is with Allah, who will protect and bless the Supreme Leader.
The fatwa declares that any threat to the leadership and unity of the Islamic Ummah will be regarded as an affront to Allah.
