Iranian Cleric Issues Fatwa Against Trump, Netanyahu
A prominent Iranian cleric, Ayatollah Shirazi, issued a fatwa (religious ruling) against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, calling them "enemies of God".
This means he's telling Muslims to act against them.
In Islamic law, this label, called "moharebeh", carries harsh penalties, even death in Iran.
This has historical precedents: the Iranian government has executed many people, particularly after the 1979 revolution and more recently, under similar charges.
