Iran’s most senior religious figures have issued a shocking call for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging supporters to kill the two leaders in what they described as a religious duty. Members of Iran’s powerful Assembly of Experts declared that the deaths of the two leaders “must not be neglected under any circumstances”, accusing them of responsibility for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei during the opening day of the conflict.

Well they killed the Iranian 'supreme leader' along with many others

so 'what comes around goes around' and 'karma is a bitch'

applies 100%

Shocking? Hardly.

Trump is so close to death that it is not worth killing him. They should ask Putin for the videos he has.

Have you been living under a rock? This is old news. Since when have they not had hit job out for Trump?

One may reasonably consider that Ukraine and Iran are tomorrow's threats to the west. Not really Russia.... for the moment anyhow.

An orange Fatwa how fitting

shocking?

Apparently this person hasn't been paying attention to how many clerics Trump killed or how many times the blowhart threatened to end their entire civilization ⁉️

Pot, black. 😭

London Loves Business (londonlovesbusiness.com). Yeah baby, that's surely a reputable main-stream news source? Media Bias Fact Check can't even find it.

Considering this IS NOT a reputable source of news, I wouldn't say it's worth placing it in "What The Papers Are Saying" unless we are talking about the papers you put down for your puppy to poo on. This is no more reputable than a social media post - in fact it's probably less reputable.

I'd say that this doesn't meet the criteria of Asean Now Forum Rule 5.
5. You will not use ASEAN NOW to post any material which is knowingly or can be reasonably construed as false, inaccurate, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law. Topics or posts deemed to be scaremongering, deliberately misleading or which deliberately distort information will be removed. In factual areas such as news forums and current affairs topics member content that is claimed or portrayed as a fact should be supported by a link to a relevant reputable source.

From DuckDuckGo AI:

LondonLovesBusiness doesn’t meet the same “reputable news source” standard as outlets like Reuters, BBC, AP, FT, WSJ, or NYT. It looks more like a niche business publication than a major newsroom with consistently strong, transparent verification and accountability practices.

If this assertion can't be corroborated with major main-steam news media outlets, then it's not fact based.

What's the big deal here ? Most powerful nations have their own crooked covert mercenary type handymen to do their dirty work abroad.

Trump is the most despised American president in generations. This would come as no surprise.

and in thetelegraph and other papers ,clever clogs

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/30/iranian-clerics-call-for-trump-assassination/

Does anyone here know why it's an unwritten rule among most countries NOT to assassinate other heads of state. Because once the assassination genie is out of its bottle, there is no stuffing him back in. The US and Israel consider the assassination of the leaders of any country it chose to be perfectly fine. Then suddenly the shoe is on the other foot with all of the appropriate calls of indignation, outrage, and wrath. But what do you expect? I have no doubt that Netanyahu and every IDF general are legitimate targets for the IRGC. Trump and US generals? Why not? Trump and the Pentagon consider the leadership of Iran to be legitimate assassination targets. Why wouldn't what is good for the goose not good for the gander.

Or?

Make the assassination of heads of state and military leadership off limits because once one side starts, then it's "Game On" for everyone.
Personally I would rather live in a world where heads of state and their upper leadership are completely off limits in regards to assassinations.

Please enlighten me. What head of state has Israel ever assassinated?

Arabs and Iranians have been killing their heads of state and political leaders for the past century. And it should not come as a surprise that the chief culprits have been the extremist factions backed by despot terrorist states.

Yes, Israel was a principal participant in the military strike against the Iranian Supreme leader Khamenei, but he sealed his fate because of his direct actions, threats and statements calling for the destruction of Israel, the killing of all Israelis and jews. DW sums up the maniac's madness. https://www.dw.com/en/ayatollah-ali-khamenei-the-man-who-wanted-to-destroy-israel/a-76169184. Like other psychopaths who consider themselves on a mission from God, he found out the meaning of FAFO.

Only Trump and Netanyahu know whats in the videos that's why Trump has done the bidding of BiBi instead of MAGA..total 180 on most election promises in favour of Isreal says it all.

I guess Iran's supreme leader was not a head of state.

Here is a "full" list of assassinations by Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations

Not a fan of such "assasinations", nor of the Iranian regime, but Trump has on several occasions used his office as President to call for the obliteration of Iranas a nation, a society and a civilisation...

What rubbish. There are no videos. Trump doesn't do the bidding of Netanyahu. On the contrary, It is Netanyahu who is deferential to Trump.

Reading comprehension is apparently difficult for you. The people you list were military targets. Because someone entered them under assassinations does not make them so. They were hostile personnel with military commands and/or authority and/or roles who were actively engaged in overt and direct hostile acts against Israel. That made them legitimate targets. These were not civil society members.

Its a fair point, and you should use the Report facility.

But the report appears in other publications. Take your pick:

During WW2, there were various British attempts and plans to assassinate Adolf Hitler. In the end, Operation Foxley never went ahead because there was the fear that if Hitler were killed, someone competent would take over.
