Iran’s leading cleric has declared President Trump a “enemy of Allah” and issued a lethal fatwa against him, formally condoning assassination attempts. Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi’s religious decree reveals the true intentions of the radical Islamic regime toward American leaders and poses a direct threat to our national security, necessitating prompt action.
Iranian Regime Declares Holy War on Trump
The fatwa from Iran’s Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi explicitly labels Donald Trump as a “Mohareb” – an enemy of Allah – and promises divine rewards for those who harm him. This religious decree has been amplified through Iranian state media and received indirect endorsement from the family of Ayatollah Khomeini, demonstrating it has full backing from the highest levels of the Iranian regime.

The fatwa specifically accuses Trump and Israeli leaders of threatening Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other religious figures, calling for “severe punishment” against them. Iranian clerics stated, “Those who threaten the leadership and integrity of the Islamic Ummah are to be considered warlords,” making this not merely rhetorical posturing but an explicit religious authorization for violence against America’s former president.
History Proves These Threats Are Real
This is not the first time Iran has issued such deadly proclamations, with the most infamous being the 1989 fatwa against author Salman Rushdie that resulted in a near-fatal stabbing attack in 2022. The regime has a documented history of extraterritorial operations, including assassinations and support for militant proxies worldwide, making this new threat against President Trump particularly alarming.

Western intelligence agencies have already uncovered Iranian operatives plotting to assassinate Trump, according to security experts. The regime’s newspaper, Kayhan, owned by Khamenei himself, previously boasted that “getting revenge against criminals on U.S. territory is not difficult,” while directly threatening Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo following the Rushdie attack.
America Must Take Decisive Action
The Biden administration has failed to respond adequately to this direct threat against a former president of the United States. Security experts warn that Iran has already infiltrated America through cultural and religious cover organizations, using progressive activists and institutions as tools to advance their agenda while building networks capable of carrying out attacks.
“The Islamic Republic’s clerical class is raising the stakes for opposing Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, both at home and abroad. With this fatwa, which contains some blatant invitations to violence as a religious commandment, Tehran aims to inspire everyone from its transnational terror cadres to lone-wolf radicals to attack Trump.” – Behnam Ben Taleblu.
National security experts are calling for immediate countermeasures, including officially designating all regime figures as sponsors of terrorism, dismantling Iranian terror cells operating on American soil, supporting internal Iranian regime change efforts, and backing Israel in eliminating key Iranian operatives. The threat posed by this fatwa cannot be dismissed as mere rhetoric when Iran remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with a proven track record of carrying out international assassinations.
