Tehran Clerics Issue Ruling Against Trump, Netanyahu
Updated July 3, 2025
More than a dozen senior clerics and teachers from the Tehran seminary have jointly issued a religious ruling against former U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The statement condemns Trump and Netanyahu as “kafir Ḥarbi” (belligerent non-believers), “Mufsid fī al-Arḍ” (corrupt on Earth), and “Mahdur al-Damm” (worthy of death). The ruling, addressing the leaders’ perceived role in escalating regional conflict, cites threats against senior Shia religious figures as justification.
the scholars, responding to past statements by Trump targeting Iran’s Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, described the former U.S. president as a “reckless clown.” They warned that aggression against Islamic leaders would trigger widespread retaliation from Muslims worldwide. The clerics are concerned about the role of foreign powers in the region, and the impact on the security of religious leaders.
Citing Quranic verses and Islamic legal principles, the statement accuses Trump and Netanyahu of war crimes. These alleged crimes include inciting regional conflict, violating international agreements, and causing mass civilian casualties in the Middle East.
The signatories urged Muslims globally, particularly the youth, to remain vigilant and heed the directives of religious leaders in resisting what they view as foreign aggression.
What’s next
The ruling is likely to further inflame tensions between iran and its perceived adversaries, potentially galvanizing support for hard-line policies within Iran and among its allies.
