Iran’s regime has crossed a line that no sovereign state has ever crossed before: it openly called for the assassination of a sitting president of the United States.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, one of the most powerful clerics in Iran’s theocratic system, has issued an official fatwa — a religious decree — calling for the murder of President Donald J. Trump.
It came directly from the top of Iran’s religious and political hierarchy. This is equivalent to a declaration of war.
What makes the fatwa even more outrageous is that the regime is not just issuing threats—it has been raising money, publicly — to pay for Trump’s murder. It is not a joke. It is a direct, state-sanctioned call to eliminate America’s leader.
Shortly after the fatwa was announced, Mansour Emami, the state-appointed head of Iran’s official Islamic Propagation Organization in West Azerbaijan Province, announced that a reward of 100 billion tomans (approximately $1.14 million) would be paid to anyone who “brings the head of Trump.”
A religious cleric with an official government position, not a rogue agent, was offering a million-dollar bounty to behead the U.S. president.
On top of that, reports from inside Iran reveal that the regime and its supporters have reportedly raised more than $40 million in a crowdfunding campaign to murder Trump.
This is the kind of behavior you would expect from ISIS or al-Qaeda, not from a government that has embassies, diplomats, and sits at the negotiating table with the United Nations and other world powers.
What has the response been from the international community? Silence. Where are the liberal voices, the pro-Iran “diplomacy-first” crowd, the think tank elites who have spent years telling us that we should appease Tehran and give them billions of dollars for “peace”?
