Iran’s leading Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, has issued a fatwa labeling U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “enemies of God.” The decree urges Muslims worldwide to unite against these leaders, accusing them of threatening Iran’s leadership . Under Iranian Islamic law, those deemed “mohareb” (waging war against God) face severe punishments, including execution, crucifixion, amputation, or exile . This fatwa marks a sharp escalation in religious denunciation amid ongoing tensions between Iran, the U.S., and Israel. No official response has yet been issued by either Jerusalem or Washington.
