Iran’s religious minorities denounce assassination threats against Ayatollah Khamenei

In a show of national unity, the top representatives of Iran’s religious minorities and faith communities have strongly condemned recent threats against the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Signed by prominent leaders from Iran’s Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, and Mandaean communities, a statement issued on Saturday denounced the threats issued by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an attack not just on a political figure, but on the shared values and spiritual dignity of believers around the world.
