Iranian cleric declares Trump, Netanyahu 'enemies of God'

A senior Shiite cleric in Iran has declared US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “mohareb” (enemies of God) over what he described as their threats against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Moharebeh is an Islamic-Arabic term that in the lexicon of the Islamic Republic and its punishment is death.

Naser Makarem Shirazi called on all Muslims to make Trump and Netanyahu regret their words and actions.

“If anyone suffers hardship or loss in this path, they will receive the reward of a warrior in the way of God,” he said.
