President Donald Trump may have taken things too far online, and now, he’s reportedly the target of a murder fatwa from a powerful Iranian cleric. According to Lev Parnas, a former close Trump associate turned whistleblower, U.S. intelligence has intercepted a chilling response from Iran following Trump’s latest Truth Social tirade.
In his recent post, Trump launched harsh attacks against Iranian leadership, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader. That reportedly triggered a religious edict — a fatwa — calling for Trump’s death.
He shared this translated quote from the Ayatollah:
“Any insult to the Ayatollah Khamenei is an insult to the foundations of Islam. Any individual or state threatening or striking him or aiding in such a crime is Mohareb — an enemy of Allah.”
Parnas says this development is not just symbolic.
“This is unprecedented,” he wrote. “The geopolitical fallout from Trump’s actions isn’t just theoretical — it’s personal, global, and explosive.”
He also teased that the drama may not stop there. According to Parnas, something else is brewing behind the scenes with Russia. He hinted at a cryptic Trump post promising a “major announcement” coming soon — possibly related to sanctions, an energy deal, or even Ukraine.
“Putin and Trump’s carefully choreographed theater from last week is unraveling, just as I warned,” Parnas said.
Parnas’s claim isn’t completely out of left field. The Tehran Times, a state-affiliated Iranian news outlet, published a story on Sunday titled: “Fatwas draw a red line: No tolerance for threats against Ayatollah Khamenei.” That article appears to back up parts of Parnas’s claims, signaling Iran’s leaders are taking Trump’s latest insults as a serious offense.
If this fatwa is confirmed, it would be only the second time Iran has issued such a high-profile religious order against a public figure. The most infamous fatwa was in 1989, when Ayatollah Khomeini called for the assassination of author Salman Rushdie after his novel The Satanic Verses angered religious leaders.
So far, Trump hasn’t commented publicly on the reported fatwa, but all eyes are on what he says or does next, especially with rumors swirling about his “major announcement.” One thing’s clear: this is no longer just social media beef. It’s turning into an international powder keg, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
