The Islamic Republic Issued A Fatwa On Trump. The U.S. Must Prepare Accordingly.

If left unchecked, this regime will act on its threats.

Iran’s senior Shiite cleric has declared war on the President of the United States. The Islamic Republic’s Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa stating that threats against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — particularly by President Trump — constitute a war against Islam. “Any collaboration,” he wrote, “is forbidden. Muslims must respond with ‘severe punishment.'”

This is not empty rhetoric. It’s a directive. The regime is using religious law to justify action against American political leadership. This fatwa is not an outlier — it is state-sanctioned pretext for terror.
