Iran Declares Trump “Enemy of God”—An Ominous Fatwa with the Weight of Execution

A Fatwa with Lethal Precedent

One of the most influential Shiite clerics alive—Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi—has just branded Donald Trump an “enemy of God,” a label that in Iran is no idle insult. It is a religious and legal death sentence. For those unfamiliar with Shia jurisprudence, the designation “Mohareb” (“one who wages war against God”) carries a penalty that has historically ended with the scaffold or the bullet. To dismiss this as mere clerical bluster is to ignore decades of precedent and a culture that rewards martyrdom and vendetta over negotiation.

The Words That Warrant Execution

The fatwa was issued in response to Trump’s recent threats against Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and the Marja—senior Shiite religious authorities who command legions of loyalists both inside and outside Iran. According to Shirazi’s statement:

“Any person or regime that threatens the Leader or Marja is considered an enemy of God…It is necessary for all Muslims around the world to make these enemies regret their words and mistakes.”

This is not the first time a fatwa has authorized violence. Recall Salman Rushdie, who spent decades in hiding after Ayatollah Khomeini’s decree. Eventually, a would-be assassin nearly succeeded in taking his life. Now, a former American president is the target of a similar theological death warrant—one backed by a state with nuclear ambitions and a vast international network of operatives.

Crowds Chanting for Revenge

As this decree circulated, tens of thousands of enraged Iranians flooded Tehran’s streets, torching American flags and chanting “Death to America” in funerary processions for slain commanders. The caskets of senior IRGC generals were paraded alongside vows of vengeance, and the spectacle was not merely a show of grief—it was a declaration of sustained hostility. While Washington insiders issue hollow statements about “de-escalation,” the reality is that Iran’s leadership has explicitly called for retribution, and no one in authority seems willing to acknowledge what this portends.

Sleeper Cells and Asymmetric Threats at Home

Consider what has happened on U.S. soil in parallel: Homeland Security recently confirmed the arrest of eleven Iranian nationals, including an alleged sniper, apprehended in a multi-state sweep. The timing is no coincidence. With July 4th celebrations approaching and soft targets in abundance, the threat matrix has become a labyrinth of sleeper cells and asymmetric warfare. For the uninitiated, “asymmetric warfare” is the sanitized term for terror attacks, sabotage, and disruption—methods designed to cripple critical infrastructure with minimal resources.

Barricades in Washington Tell the Real Story

Meanwhile, in Washington, construction crews have been observed erecting anti-scale barricades around the White House and the Treasury Department—an extraordinary precaution that suggests officials fear more than protests. Yet the official line remains opaque, leaving citizens to speculate in the information vacuum.

A Dangerous Collision of Weakness and Fanaticism

If you believe the most dangerous threats come only from economic instability, think again. This is precisely how empires unravel—when internal dysfunction collides with external fanaticism. The twin crises of state-backed terror and systemic debt are converging in plain sight, but most Americans remain distracted by trivialities.

Bill Brocius has long warned that the erosion of confidence in institutions—whether financial or political—can accelerate faster than any policy can reverse. We are now seeing that dynamic in real-time. And while the banks will close their doors at the first sign of contagion, radicals abroad will be more than happy to exploit every fracture in our society.

Mohareb Is Not a Theory—It’s a Death Warrant

If you think this is just another headline to scroll past, remember: Mohareb is not a theoretical concept. It is a doctrine that ends in execution, celebrated as divine justice. And it’s been invoked against a former president of the United States.

In times like these, complacency is the enemy.
