A senior Iranian cleric issued a decree calling on all Muslims to seek retribution against President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi on Sunday issued a fatwa against Trump for speaking negatively about Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Trump on Friday said he immediately stopped pursuing sanctions relief for Iran following Khamenei’s statement of “anger, hatred, and disgust.” Before that, it was reported the president vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Khamenei.
“Any regime or individual threatening the leaders of the Islamic Ummah and acting on those threats qualifies as a Muharib,” said Shirazi, using a term in Iran’s penal code for one who wages war against God, Tehran Times reported.
According to Iran’s Islamic penal code, a person proven to be a muharib may face severe punishments such as execution, crucifixion, amputation of the right hand and left foot, or exile.
Shirazi also issued a fatwa against Netanyahu after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, and recent U.S. attacks that obliterated Iran’s nuclear facilities, India’s News 18 reported.
