Top Iran cleric issues fatwa against Trump and Netanyahu
Iran’s top cleric has issued a fatwa against US president Donald Trump and Israeli prime minister Netanyahu for being “enemies of God”, according to Iranian state media.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi said the US president and Mr Netanyahu were guilty of “mohareb”, waging war against God, following attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Those identified as “mohareb” can face execution, crucifixion, limb amputation, or exile, according to Iranian Sharia law.
The fatwa said: “Any person or regime that threatens or assaults the leadership and religious authority of the Islamic Ummah is considered a mohareb.”
