Iranian Clerics Call for Trump and Netanyahu’s Assassination: “SEND THEM TO HELL”

According to their most religious clerics, it is an Islamic ‘deligious duty’ to kill US president and Israeli PM.

This is Islam.

Hamshahri, a major Iranian newspaper, ran a front page with Mr Trump’s face in the crosshairs of a rifle scope beneath the banner headline “Revenge is certain”.

Iranian clerics call for Trump’s assassination

‘Religious duty’ to kill US president and Israeli PM ‘must not be neglected’, says Tehran’s Assembly of Experts

Iran’s most senior clerics have called for the assassination of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.

In a 10-point statement, the Assembly of Experts said the killing of “the criminal American president” and “the wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime” was a religious duty.

“It is obligatory upon any duty-bound person who gains access to these criminals to send them to hell,” they added.

The language read like a religious edict but stopped short of a formal fatwa, which in Shia Islam is issued by an individual cleric in his own name rather than by a group.

On Tuesday, Hamshahri, a major Iranian newspaper, ran a front page with Mr Trump’s face in the crosshairs of a rifle scope beneath the banner headline “Revenge is certain”. It added that “avenging the blood of the martyred imam and the martyrs is at the top of the people’s demands”.
