The clerics framed the call as a religious obligation that must be executed \u201cunder any circumstances,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1986704\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Religious Decree<\/h2>\n<p>The Assembly of Experts used the Arabic term \u201cmahdour al-dam\u201d to describe Trump and Netanyahu, a phrase signifying those deserving death under Islamic jurisprudence. The statement connected the assassination call to avenging Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, describing it as a matter of \u201cparamount\u201d importance.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian state media amplified the message, with the newspaper Hamshahri publishing a front-page image of Trump\u2019s face positioned in a rifle scope\u2019s crosshairs. The accompanying headline declared \u201cRevenge is certain,\u201d underscoring the hardline faction\u2019s aggressive posture.<\/p>\n<h2>Security Implications<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. security officials have emphasized the distinction between Iran\u2019s historical rhetorical threats and potential state-sponsored attacks. A coordinated operation by Iranian operatives would differ significantly from previous amateur attempts, involving trained personnel, sophisticated equipment, and likely multiple operatives working as an organized team.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1970893\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Current U.S. immigration data indicates between 20,000 and 30,000 Iranian nationals are present in the country illegally. Security analysts have raised concerns about the potential overlap between this population and any possible state-sponsored operation.<\/p>\n<h2>Broader Context<\/h2>\n<p>The declaration comes as Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps continues military operations in the Strait of Hormuz and conducts attacks on neighboring nations. Simultaneously, Iran\u2019s civil government has maintained ongoing diplomatic discussions regarding a potential peace agreement, reflecting internal divisions within Tehran\u2019s leadership structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran\u2019s Assembly of Experts issued a religious decree calling for the deaths of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, marking an escalation in rhetoric from Tehran\u2019s leadership. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2760,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2759"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2761,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2759\/revisions\/2761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
