President Trump targeted in radical Islamic decree as tensions escalate across the Middle East.
Security has been dramatically tightened around President Donald J. Trump after a powerful Iranian Shiite cleric issued a dangerous religious fatwa—essentially calling on Muslims worldwide to oppose the American leader and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to The New York Sun, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi labeled both leaders “mohareb” and “warlords”—terms used under Iranian Islamic law to describe enemies of God. This label can justify extreme punishments, including execution, crucifixion, limb amputation, or exile.
The fatwa ends with a prayer calling for the appearance of the “Mahdi,” a prophetic figure associated with the Islamic end times—a signal that this decree may be more than symbolic.
Experts Warn: This Is a Direct Threat of State-Sponsored Terrorism
British-Iranian commentator Niyak Ghorbani denounced the fatwa, calling it an open incitement to religious violence with global implications.
“Iran isn’t just targeting its own citizens anymore—they’re preparing for religiously motivated war on a global scale,” Ghorbani wrote in a post on X.
Issued Just Days After U.S.-Israeli Joint Strike on Iran
This extremist decree follows closely on the heels of a decisive military operation led by the United States and Israel during what’s being called the “12-Day War.” On June 13, Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, reportedly eliminating senior commanders and nuclear scientists.
When Iran responded with missile strikes on Israeli cities, President Trump ordered U.S. forces to strike back—hitting three major Iranian nuclear sites. The message from Washington was clear: the U.S. will not tolerate Iran’s march toward a nuclear weapon.
President Trump had previously warned that any attempt by Tehran to enrich uranium to weapons-grade levels would trigger immediate consequences.
Iran’s History of Deadly Fatwas
This is not the first time Iran’s clerics have turned religion into a weapon. In 1989, the regime issued a fatwa against author Salman Rushdie after the release of The Satanic Verses. That single ruling led to multiple assassinations, firebombings, and decades of threats.
Rushdie went into hiding and survived several attempts on his life. In 2023, he was attacked again—stabbed during a public appearance in New York, leaving him blind in one eye.
Now, similar religious rhetoric is being used to target an American president.
President Trump: Standing Strong Against Terror Threats
While radical voices in the Middle East call for chaos, President Trump remains firm in his stance: America comes first, and its leaders will be protected at all costs.
The administration is taking the fatwa seriously, ramping up presidential security and coordinating with allied intelligence agencies to assess the threat. Experts warn that this kind of incitement has the potential to inspire lone-wolf actors or coordinated terrorist attempts abroad and on U.S. soil.
⚠️ The Bottom Line for Americans ⚠️
Iran’s regime has declared open hostility against the United States—again. But with President Trump at the helm, America is no longer bowing to foreign threats. Instead, we’re standing tall, striking back when needed, and defending our nation’s leaders without apology.
