A kafir harbi is an infidel at war with Islam. Once again we see a Muslim spokesman frame his conflict with the U.S. and Israel solely in Islamic terms, while that is the one aspect of the conflict that all Western analysts steadfastly ignore.
“Iranian Religious Establishment Declares Jihad Against President Trump For Threat To Khamenei That He Never Made, Calling For His Assassination: ‘His Punishment Is Death’; ‘His Blood Is Permitted’; This Is ‘A Deed Warranting Enormous Reward’ That ‘Assures Paradise’; ‘Every Cell Of The Resistance In the West Is Charged With Carrying Out This Sentence’; Over $42 Million ‘Has Been Raised Online For Carrying Out This Assassination,'” MEMRI, July 9, 2025:
…Iranian Assembly Of Experts Presidential Committee Member Ayatollah Mohsen Araki: “The Property And Life Of The American President Are Permitted [For Targeting]”; “All Muslims In The World Must Join The Fray In Order To Defend The Religion Of Islam And The Integrity Of The Islamic World”; ” According to the Quran, he is assured Paradise”; “This Is A Clear Warning To America And To Those Who Support It”
Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, a member of the presidential committee of Iran’s Assembly Of Experts, said in a July 2, 2025 interview with the Tasnim news agency that, in the context of the fatwas against President Trump issued by Iranian grand ayatollahs last week, Trump’s property and life, and those of all his supporters, are permissible targets for the Muslims. He added that it is obligatory to act immediately against the political, economic, media, and military interests of all those who threaten Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei until they regret having done so.
Araki said that assassinating Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and U.S. and Israeli soldiers will be greatly rewarded, and any Muslim in the world who causes them damage will be defending the foundations of Islam and is entitled to enter Paradise. This, he said, is because Trump’s and Netanyahu’s war is not only against the Iranians, but also against the Quran, Islam, and Allah Himself.
The following is a translation of the main points of Araki’s statements in the interview:
“Israel’s existence is essentially that of a kafir harbi [a non-Muslim with whom war can be waged]. Even had it not committed crimes in Gaza, there is no haram [prohibition] against [targeting] its life, property, or anything that belongs to it, and thus it must be fought with full force. It was America that planned and is carrying out Israel’s war against Iran, and therefore America too is defined today as a kafir harbi state, as are its president, its supporters, and its allies.
Ayatollah Mohsen Araki (Source: Tasnim, Iran, July 2, 2025)
“According to the recent fatwas [by the Iranian grand ayatollahs], the administration and the president of the U.S. are defined for all Muslims as a kafir harbi regime – that is, their property and lives are permitted to us, as are the lives of those who rely on the American government. Of course, the fate of those who do not see themselves as subservient to the Trump administration and America is different. Anyone who supports Trump, or supports the military, or who has supported and continues to support Trump’s war decisions, will suffer the same fate. Regimes such as Britain, France, and Germany, which officially and openly support Trump and Netanyahu, are also considered kafir harbi.
“The fact that there is a threat against Supreme Leader [Ali Khamenei] grants [the right of] and applies the law of muhareb to Trump, Netanyahu, and the U.S. There is an absolute and indisputable obligation to repel this threat. To repel it means that we need not wait for the threat to actually materialize – it is enough for the enemy to have planned, prepared its army, carried out mobilization, and prior to this even launched an attack. That is, it has already actualized its threat, and we must respond in a way that will make it regret having done so.
“I ratify the fatwas of the grand ayatollahs, according to which anyone threatening the Supreme Leader is defined as a muhareb. All Muslims in the world must join the fray in order to defend the religion of Islam and the integrity of the Islamic world. There is a vital need for an operation against the political, economic, media, and military interests of the enemy who threatened the leader, and it must be made to regret having done so… Comprehensive operations must be undertaken worldwide against anyone threatening the leader of the [Islamic] revolution [Khamenei].
“Killing Trump, Netanyahu, and American and Israeli soldiers is considered a deed warranting enormous reward. Any Muslim, anywhere in the world, who can damage the Americans or the Zionists will be defending the foundations of Islam, and doing so is his practical and binding obligation. According to the Quran, he is assured Paradise. The war that Trump, Netanyahu, and their partners forced on Islam, on the Muslims, and on the messenger of Allah is not their war on us. It is a war on the messenger of Allah, the Quran, Islam, and Allah Himself…
“In Western Asia [i.e. Middle East] and across the world, there are millions of people who are ready to act according to this Islamic fatwa. This is a clear warning to America and to those who support it. The recent fatwa by the grand ayatollahs and by various jurisprudents in the Islamic world, that is addressed to hundreds of millions of Muslims, is a warning and a severe message to America and the Zionist regime: All your interests are in danger. You must realize that with this threat against the Leader of the Revolution [Khamenei], they have decreed war on nearly a billion Muslims.”…

Good job, Mr President, in forcing the Israelis into a ceasefire w/ these thugs. Just when the Iranian people were starting to believe that they could see the end of this regime
Gurek says
Sadly, I think if the islamic regime falls, its islamist neighbours could attack so that it will not have a secular government. Probably the new Iranian secular government would de-islamize the country and bring back the glorious, peaceful Persian past. But I can’t imagine any islamic neighbour allowing that to happen.

Islam and its Muslims are a terrorist, criminal enterprise of terrorism, discrimination, segregation, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7, etc.).
Allah’s hateful Islam, a Criminal-Terrorist Enterprise and a Murderous-Demonic Cult of Believers, Muslim Soldiers for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, mass murder, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, genocide, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.).
Allah’s Islamic ideology in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until they surrender to Muslim rule when it says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Hence, Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 47:4; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam and its Muslims function as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15 etc.).
Allah’s Islam, a supremacist Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their incitement of segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, and tyrannical violence(Quran 4:65; 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7 and more).
Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah, the Accuser, in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a CRIME of Blasphemy, Unbelief, and Infidelity against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION AS SUPREME(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: incitement, intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, slavery, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, sedition, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:191, 208,216; 4:65, 89,91, 95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 47:4; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

Pressuring young men to be jihadists, because in Islam this is the only route to assurance of salvation, has to rank as a form of pastoral abuse (unfortunately one can’t call it hermeneutical abuse, except where the Qur’an misquotes or misapplies the Jewish or Christian scriptures, because Islamic texts fully support the Ayatollah’s stance).
What will it be like for this Ayatollah after his own death, when he realises that Allah is not, and never was, God, and that he has left behind him such a toxic legacy?
Tim gallagher says
The usual involved 7th century arab thinking from this knuckle dragging piece of shit. How embarrassing it is for a country in the 21st century to have these ape like knuckle dragging shitheads in charge. What a disaster for human race it will be if Islam, the primitive load of evil shit that it is wins the clash of cultures.
Westman says
When will the Iranians realize they are Persians, not Arabs and are laboring, their lives reduced by living under an Arab-created war religion despot. A war religion which causes Persians to lose opportunities and stable relations with the world instead of only being “liked” by authoritarian regimes who only value their citizens as expendable currency.
Yes, the Western governments can be slimy at times but it isn’t governments who run the industries and trade. They only know how to apply limitations. It is the private businesses that would trade with Iran if that repressive regime can be removed. In the ME, Persia has the greatest potential. We saw that clearly in the 1970s when Persian students were in US schools before 1979.

Naw Trump can’t do that, the media would crucify him as the aggressor, we have to wait until thousands of our citizens are harmed before the media will blame Trump for not acting sooner.

Iranian ayatollah: Trump administration is ‘a kafir harbi regime – their property and lives are permitted to us’

This is a declaration of war. How many Americans–and other Westerners–realize this?
