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

By Pamela Geller - on July 1, 2026

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

By: Akhtar Makoii, The Telegraph, 30 June 2026:

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.

Assassinating the two leaders – whom they described as mahdour al-dam, or deserving of death – “must not be neglected under any circumstances”.

The call to action came despite Washington and Tehran having signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the Middle East war, which broke out on Feb 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

The 14-point pact allowed 60 days to negotiate a permanent truce and to resolve thorny issues including the future of Iran’s nuclear programme.

However, days of tit-for-tat strikes in the Strait of Hormuz and Israel’s military actions in Lebanon have put the interim peace deal under pressure.

In their call for Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu to be assassinated, the clerics wrote that avenging the blood of Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader who was killed on the first day of the war, remained “paramount”.

“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”.
