You might think that, just having had the leader of The Great Satan pound their nuclear weapons program into oblivion, the Mullahs that run Iran might want to consider treading more cautiously to avoid incurring the wrath of President Donald J. Trump, leader of the free world.
Iran has branded Donald Trump an “enemy of God” and urged Muslims to make him “regret his actions”, raising fears of possible further assassination attempts against the US President. The call to arms was issued in a religious ruling known as a fatwa by Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi – Iran’s top religious cleric.
The fatwa was also issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the Tehran Times. In a written statement, Ayatollah Shirazi declared: “Any regime or individual threatening the leaders of the Islamic Ummah and acting on those threats qualifies as a Muharib.”
Under Shia Islamic jurisprudence, a “Muharib” is defined as someone who wages armed rebellion, terrorism or violent crimes that spread fear and disorder in society. The prescribed punishment for such offences is death via execution and also crucifixion.
Given that Trump has already survived at least two assassination attempts, I rather doubt he’s going to be cowed by this latest threat. Indeed, it may just inspire him to add Naser Makarem Shirazi to the list of Iranian leaders that it’s acceptable for Israel to kill the next time Iran tries another random missile attack or other act of terrorism.
Has anyone ever won a pissing contest with Donald Trump since he ran for President in 2015?
I rather doubt it…

Think the brass hats should get serious about practicing with, and carrying loaded, their M18’s. The example of Salman Rushdie being stabbed by Hadi Matar should motivate the Air Farce types, in particular.
“[I]t may just inspire him to add Naser Makarem Shirazi to the list of Iranian leaders that it’s acceptable for Israel to kill the next time Iran tries another random missile attack or other act of terrorism.”
Trent Telenko surmises that Israel has continuous surveillance over Tehran’s airspace:”The odds are heavily in favor of the IDF having parked Hermes drones with ‘Gorgon Stare’ technology over Tehran to hunt Iranian senior government officials.”
Does anyone doubt the IDF will act with alacrity if requested by the US administration?
It clear that the Air Force (and some Navy t’hawks) did a great job destroying most of the known Iranian nuclear weapons facilities IN Iran.
The timing of the strike was pure Bibi. It got Gaza off the front page for a moment, shored up his support in Israel, and was executed before Tulsi fired too many helpers within Deep State to make US participation unlikely.
Do we now have a nuclear 9/11 in our future? One with Iranian nukes provided by North Korea thanks to their long involvement with North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile industries?
Dunno. Wouldn’t bet against it.
Isn’t this a declaration of war?
Because it sure sounds like a declaration of war to me.
What else would you call it when the leaders of a nation put out a death warrant on the leader of another nation?
