#OSINT #FATWA Special Report, June 30, 2025 There is no credible evidence that Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa calling on Muslims worldwide to kill Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu. Here's what open-source intelligence reveals: 🔍 1. Official position of Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi → Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi is a senior Shia marja' and religious authority in Iran. → His public statements generally focus on Islamic jurisprudence, unity among Muslims, and condemnation of extremism. → He is not known for issuing political fatwas involving direct calls to violence, particularly not against foreign political leaders. ✅ 2. No evidence of fatwa against Trump or Netanyahu → There is no credible record of Makarem Shirazi issuing a fatwa calling for the death of Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu. → No mention of such a statement appears in Iranian state media, international press, or his official communications. → His known fatwas in recent years have been related to internal matters such as religious rulings and social conduct. 🌐 3. Iran and assassination claims → Some Western intelligence sources and politicians have accused Iranian-linked actors (primarily IRGC) of plotting retaliation for Soleimani’s death, including against Trump. → Iran’s government has denied any official involvement or orders to assassinate foreign leaders. → These disputes have remained in the geopolitical and intelligence arena—not within clerical rulings or religious decrees. 🧭 Conclusion and context → The claim that Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi called for the killing of Trump and Netanyahu is false. → There is no fatwa, no speech, and no verified document to support the assertion. → The claim likely originated from misinformation or deliberate disinformation campaigns.
