In response to the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, 3 different grand ayatollahs in Iran have declared global jihad against the United States and Israel. As you will see below, their followers now have an obligation to conduct a holy war. So this is a really big deal. From this point forward, millions of Shiite Muslims all over the world will be seeking to kill those that are responsible for Khamenei’s death. If you understand Shia Islam, then you know exactly how serious this is.
On Saturday, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was the first prominent Iranian cleric to issue a fatwa obligating his followers to seek revenge for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei.
Shirazi stated that the US and Israel were the ‘main perpetrators of this crime.’
Shirazi is one of the leading religious figures in Iran, and he was directly involved in the Iranian Revolution in 1979…
Heinisch added that Shirazi’s fatwa carried significant weight: ‘He is a well-known and respected legal scholar who was appointed to the Assembly of Experts for the establishment of the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and played a role in drafting the first constitution.
So this isn’t just some random guy.
Now that he has issued this fatwa, his followers must abide by it.
A fatwa is an Islamic ruling made by religious authorities or scholars whose followers are compelled to follow.
Experts have warned that the extreme proclamation means the world is more likely to see Iranian sleeper cells and lone wolves carry out horrific terror attacks at sites including embassies, restaurants and shops.
Grand Ayatollah Hossein Noori Hamedani also issued a fatwa that made global jihad mandatory for his followers.
“Without doubt, criminal America and the bloodthirsty Zionists have reached the end of their path, and this time the powerful armed forces will deliver a decisive and unforgettable response,” he warned.
Grand Ayatollah Kamal al-Haydari resides in the holy city of Qom, and his declaration of global jihad is getting a lot of attention.
A jihad has been called against the US and Israel by one of Iran’s Grand Ayatollahs as the war in the Middle East escalates.
It comes after two high-ranking Shiite religious leaders in Iran, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani and Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, issued their own fatwas urging Muslims globally to seek revenge for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In his fatwa, which is a kind of Islamic legal opinion, Grand Ayatollah al-Haydari described the US-Israeli strikes as a “barbaric and vicious war.”
He also warned the two countries: “We warn you, in the strongest and most realistic terms of warning, against underestimating the dignity and capabilities of these peoples. They are faithful peoples who place their lives before their faith to defend their honor, dignity, religion, and creed. So, may your interests in the region be destroyed if you have any.”
There is no time limit for these fatwas.
These radicals will never forgive, and they will never forget.
In fact, there are approximately 2.5 million of them living in the United States right now.
A prominent Shiite organization in Dearborn, Michigan, held a memorial for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, honoring him for his “martyrdom” while accusing Americans of being led by Satan.
