Statement by the Jurist Leader Ayatollah Qassim Condemning the US President’s Threats Against Imam Khamenei
The Jurist Leader Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim issued a statement condemning the threats made by US President Donald Trump against His Eminence Sayyid Ali Khamenei. The text is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Imam Khamenei, Ayatollah al-Uzma, the Supreme Leader of the blessed Islamic Republic, is a monumental symbol among the Qur’anic figures, and his leadership is of a rare level in this era.
By virtue of the nation and his immense mission-driven stature, he reflects his sincere allegiance to the Qur’an, and his high sanctity is derived from the sincerity of his Islam and his strength. Thus, any insult or threat against him is an insult to the entire nation, its sacred values, and the position of pious, wise, and devoted jurisprudence.
Trump’s insult and threat against this lofty position is ignorance, foolishness, and a lack of accurate assessment of matters and consequences.
It is a threat and insult to our entire nation and all our sanctities, which places a heavy responsibility on our noble nation.
Issa Ahmed Qasim
