Iran’s most senior clerics have called for the assassinations of President
Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring the leaders
mahdour al-dam — or deserving of death.

The 88-member Assembly of Experts issued a 10-point statement in which they
said killing “the wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime” and “the

the 14-point memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran aimed at
ending the war.

They further urged supporters of the Iranian regime to take to the streets “in
the leader’s name,” adding that “the people’s presence is necessary and
decisive.”
