IRAN’S “medieval” regime demanding Donald Trump be crucified could provoke “homegrown terrorist attacks”, top politicians warn.
Warped Ayatollahs issued a call to arms to Muslims urging them to make the US president “regret his actions” – branding him an “enemy of God”.
Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have had religious decrees, known as fatwas, issued against them by prominent clerics under the Islamic criminal law of “mohareb,” which means waging war against God.
Sharia law states those charged must not only be killed but also tortured prior to death, including through crucifixion and limb amputation.
High-ranking clergy member Najmuddin Tabasi declared that Trump “must face execution,” mentioning “the same hand that sent a warning shot can aim directly at his throat,” referencing a previous assassination attempt from last July.
In a disturbing turn, an extreme Iranian cleric, Abdolmajid Kharahaani, has initiated a fundraiser aimed at hiring an assassin to eliminate Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
It comes in the wake of the so-called 12-day war which saw Trump and Israel “obliterate” much of Iran’s nuclear empire.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Chairman Governor Jeb Bush, CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, and Senior Advisor Rt. Hon. Tom Tugendhat MP insisted the mullahs must be urgently sanctioned.
They also warned how high-ranking regime enforcers are in contact with individuals in both the US and Europe.
In a statement shared exclusively with The Sun, Bush, Wallace and Tugendhat said: “The Iranian regime’s medieval and barbaric threats against the US president and others cannot be ignored – and must not go unanswered.
“The US government and its allies should immediately sanction Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba Khamenei, Makarem-Shirazi, Hamedani, Tabasi, and Panahian, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
“None of these men have been sanctioned to date under counterterrorism authorities.
“Additionally, the US Justice Department should seek indictments against these me and American law enforcement should partner with its allies to request INTERPOL Red Notices for issuing threats to internationally protected individuals.”
The trio also urged US authorities to conduct national security-based immigration review on named clerics, Iranian officials and their families to stop them from traveling to America and allied nations.
“UANI has revealed that these senior Iranian regime mullahs are in direct communication with individuals and entities in the West, including in the US and Europe,” they added.
“Against this backdrop, there is an added urgency to implement stringent measures against them.
“These calls are incitements to homegrown terrorist attacks and pose a serious threat to the president and US nationals—they should be treated accordingly.”
What is a fatwa?
A FATWA is a formal ruling or interpretation on a point of Islamic law by a Marja – a title given to the highest level of Twelver Shia religious cleric.
It calls on all Muslims, including the Islamic governments and individuals, to ensure its enforcement.
In countries where Islamic law is the basis of the legal system, a fatwa can be binding.
A fatwa issued by Iran’s first supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini led to the massacre of 30,000 prisoners including some as young as 13 in a shocking two-month purge.
The 1988 executions were revealed in the memoirs of Grand Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri, one of Ayatollah Khomeini’s closest advisors who went on to condemn his murderous act.
In it, he accused prisoners of “waging war against God” and urged Death Commissioners in charge of the mass killings to “show no mercy”.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi unleashed the fatwa on Sunday in response to Trump’s comments on possible intentions to kill Ayatollah Khamenei.
It comes after the US leader, 79, warned last month that he knew where Khamenei was hiding but wouldn’t target him – “at least not for now”.
A day earlier, Netanyahu had said killing the supreme leader would not “escalate the conflict”, but instead “end it”.
Furious Shirazi said “any person or regime that threatens the leadership and religious authority” is considered a “mohareb” – one who wages war against God.
The sick fatwa also forbids any Muslim to cooperate with or support the two leaders – and says that any jihadist who is killed while attacking them will receive a reward from Allah.
Shirazi’s ruling came following an inquiry on how Muslims should react to threats made against the Supreme Leader and other Shia leaders.
Timeline of assassination attempts on Donald Trump
July 13, 2024 – Thomas Crooks shot at Donald Trump after hiding on a roof overlooking the former President’s outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Crooks was killed by Secret Service snipers after he fired eight shots at Trump and killed one rallygoer and injured two others.
The bullet came less than a quarter of an inch from striking Trump’s head, Ronny Jackson, the former president’s physician, said.
September 15 – Ryan Routh was seen by a Secret Service agent hiding in the bushes with a rifle at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.
Trump was playing a round of golf when the alleged would-be assassin managed to get within 400 yard of Trump.
Routh fled the scene in an SUV but was caught by cops and arrested.
September 25 – Donald Trump posts on social media that he’s been informed of an Iranian plot against his life.
October 7 – Farhad Shakeri is given an order by an official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to come up with a plan to kill Donald Trump within seven days.
He told the FBI that he never intended to devise a plan in that timeframe, but allegedly discussed it with two hired guns in New York.
November 7 – Carlisle Rivera of Brooklyn and Jonathan Loadholt of Staten Island are arrested in New York for being part of the plot to kill Donald Trump along with three other Americans Iran deemed targets.
Shirazi, one of Tehran’s chief religious authorities, called on Muslims worldwide to “make these enemies regret their words and actions”.
A fatwa was previously handed down on author Salman Rushdie in 1989 after his book The Satanic Verses infuriated then Ayatollah Khomeini – who put a $3million bounty on his head.
The novelist, 77, faced numerous death threats and was forced to live largely in hiding for years before an assassination attempt in 2022.
He lost sight in one eye after he was repeatedly stabbed on stage during a lecture in New York.
It comes amid fears the fatwas are being used to stoke fears among domestic dissidents who dare to rebel against the regime.
Hundreds have been arrested in the last two weeks, many accused of spying for Israel, and executions have escalated.
Campaigners have warned the wounded regime is ramping up repression of its own people in a bid to stamp out any chance of an uprising.
At a funeral for military top brass killed during Israel’s strike, haunting chants of “Death to America” rung out.
United Against Nuclear Iran statement in full
Chairman Governor Jeb Bush, CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, and Senior Advisor Rt. Hon. Tom Tugendhat MP said:
UANI vehemently condemns the Iranian regime’s barbaric fatwas calling for thecrucifixion of President Trump and other US nationals.
Over the last few days, some of the most senior Iranian regime ayatollahs and officials — Naser Makarem-Shirazi, Hossein Nouri Hamedani, Najmuddin Tabasi, and Alireza Panahian — have issued
fatwas (religious decrees) calling on Islamists worldwide to carry out barbaric, homegrown terrorist attacks against President Trump and US nationals.
Senior regime mullahs Makarem-Shirazi and Hamedani have specifically issued fatwas calling for the assassination and crucifixion of President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and others under the Islamic penal code of mohareb (waging war against God).
Under Sharia law, all those charged as a mohareb must not only be killed but also tortured prior to death, including through crucifixion and cross-amputation.
Panahian, who is a senior member of the Office of the Supreme Leader and a close associate of his son Mojtaba Khamenei, has amplified these calls for the killings of American officials.
Likewise, Tabasi, who is a member of the Society of Seminary
Teachers of Qom, proclaimed President Trump “must be executed” and said, “the same hand that fired a shot past his ear can put a bullet through his throat.”
A mullah on Iran’s state TV has even announced the creation of a fund to collect money for the “killing of Trump and Netanyahu,” which he stated could be achieved with $10–20 million.
The Iranian regime’s medieval and barbaric threats against the U.S. president and others cannot be ignored – and must not go unanswered.
The U.S. government and its allies should immediately sanction Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his son Mojtaba Khamenei, Makarem-Shirazi, Hamedani, Tabasi, and Panahian, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
None of these men have been sanctioned to date under counterterrorism authorities.
Additionally, the US Justice Department should seek indictments against these men and American law enforcement should partner with its allies to request INTERPOL Red Notices for issuing threats to internationally protected individuals.
The US government and its allies should also conduct national security-based immigration reviews on these clerics, Iranian officials, and their families to ensure they are prohibited from traveling to
the territories of the U.S. and its allies.
UANI has revealed that these senior Iranian regime mullahs are in direct
communication with individuals and entities in the West, including in the US and Europe.
Against this backdrop, there is an added urgency to implement stringent
measures against them.
Ayatollah Khomeini’s fatwa against the author Salman Rushdie was handed down in 1989.
In 2022, Rushdie was almost killed after his eye was gouged out by an individual seeking to carry out the fatwa at a talk in Chautauqua, New York.
“These calls are incitements to homegrown terrorist attacks and pose a serious threat to the president and US nationals—they should be treated accordingly.”
