Donald Trump and anyone else who threatens to kill Iran’s supreme leader are “waging war against God” and should be punished by death, according to a new religious fatwa.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi said “any person or regime that threatens the leadership and religious authority” is considered a “mohareb” – one who wages war against God – under Islamic law.
The cleric, speaking in Iran, declared that any co-operation with such individuals or regimes by Muslims or Islamic governments was religiously forbidden and the crime punishable by death.
