Ayatollah Sistani slams Israeli aggression against Iran, threats against Ayatollah Khamenei
Iraq’s top Shia cleric, Ayatollah Sistani, has strongly condemned the continued Israeli aggression against Iran as well as threats to assassinate the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
In a statement on Thursday morning, Ayatollah Sistani sternly warned that any criminal measure of such kind, in addition to violating clear religious and ethical principles and constituting a blatant violation of international laws and norms, will have dire consequences for the region.
In recent days, following the wanton and illegal aggression against the Islamic Republic, which resulted in the assassination of many top-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists as well as civilians, Israeli regime officials have issued threats against Ayatollah Khamenei.
US President Donald Trump has also resorted to similar threats against the Iranian nation and Leader of the Islamic Revolution, drawing widespread anger and outrage.
