A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is "an enemy of God," state media has reported.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was responding to a question about any threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A fatwa is a ruling on how to interpret Islamic law issued by a clerical authority.

Hey. If it happens you won't hear me complain.

He needs to go. The who how and why doesn't matter so long as he's gone. That's a win for the entire human race.

Feels like deja vu to when Bin Laden issues a jihad against the US, but this time it is much more personal - Trump got called out.

Iran should have a national twitter for these kinds of burns

He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂

Anyone else planning on dining out in an Iranian restaurant tonight?

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

Oh he's an enemy to far more than just some imaginary friend.

It's weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Only in the sense that all our heads will start to pop like popcorn when the nukes start flying.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 15 points 15 hours ago

Iran doesn't have nukes and their strategy is quite defensive, rather than aggressive. If there is Nukes flying Israel would toss them first and the US would follow in, because they can't be not throwing bigger bombs than Israel.

He’s not, but the fundamentalist Christians have decided he’s their hero.

Got too many 'leaders' in this globe with a Jesus Christ/God Complex. That's what is wrong with this world.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

All these guys are a threat to humanity.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 48 points 22 hours ago (9 children)

That and an extreme lack of empathy, which is confusing

"Jesus complex" is being an imperialistic or violent and abusive pillaging freak? 😭🙃
