Good Job Donnie. "Two senior Iranian clerics issue fatwas urging revenge over Khamenei's death." [View all]

Note this is from an Iranian news source.

Two senior Shiite religious authorities in Iran, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani and Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, issued fatwas calling on Muslims worldwide to take revenge for the reported killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israeli attack.

Nouri Hamedani responded in writing to a request from the presidium of the Assembly of Seminary Students and Scholars in Qom, and on Sunday he said all Muslims are religiously obliged to avenge Khamenei’s death at the hands of the perpetrators.

Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa identifying the United States and Israel as the “main perpetrators” and described retaliation as a religious duty for Muslims worldwide “until the evil of these criminals is eradicated from the world.”
