In a chilling escalation of state-sponsored threats, Mohammad-Javad Larijani, a senior advisor to the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader and prominent regime ideologue, publicly declared that the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump would be \u201clegally justified\u201d under Islamic law.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a memorial<\/a> for Majid Tajan Tajari\u2014a young Iranian AI scientist reportedly killed during Israel\u2019s recent 12-day military campaign\u2014Larijani claimed that over 400 regime-aligned clerics had issued religious decrees endorsing Trump\u2019s assassination. He accused the U.S. of having \u201cfounded the tradition of political and scientific assassinations\u201d in Iran and insisted, \u201cYou [Americans] kill others in foreign lands and expect not to be killed in return?\u201d<\/p>\n The threat reflects the clerical regime\u2019s desperation to boost morale amid growing disillusionment among its armed forces. Following severe losses during the 12-day war, Tehran\u2019s leadership is now leaning heavily into hostile rhetoric to mask internal disarray, including elite casualties, weakened command structures, and eroded public support.<\/p>\n Mohammad-Javad Larijani\u2014senior advisor to #Khamenei<\/a>\u2014has just revealed more than intended. He said Iran is ready to share the peaceful parts of its nuclear program. That\u2019s not transparency\u2014it\u2019s admission. If there are \u201cpeaceful parts,\u201d what are the others? — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) May 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
