A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is “an enemy of God,” state media has reported.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was responding to a question about any threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A fatwa is a ruling on how to interpret Islamic law issued by a clerical authority.
Well that’s… bold.
You’re just a cleric dude. I’m sure Trump would have taken out Khameni if it wouldn’t have turned the entire region into a conflagration.
Killing Khamenei would be a terrible mistake. One of his son who probably would be his successor is even more extreme and would remove the fatwa Khamenei used to prohibit the building and using of nukes
