In an alarming display of barbarism typical of the Iranian regime, a grand ayatollah has issued a dangerous fatwa against former President Donald Trump and other Western leaders. This is not a mere squabble between political figures; it’s an open invitation for violent jihad against prominent global leaders. It’s time we wake up to the reality that the Islamic Republic is not a harmless bystander, but a calculated and ruthless operator on the world stage. They’ve declared war, not just on specific tactics, but on the Western way of life itself.
The Iranian leadership seems to have forgotten the crushing might of Western defense capabilities. Any threat against our leaders is a challenge to the strength and resolve of freedom-loving nations everywhere. Former President Trump has demonstrated military restraint by only targeting Iran’s nuclear ambitions, while sparing its clerics’ lives. Yet, rather than taking this as a peace offering, these medieval extremists are calling for blood. Their aggression shouldn’t be met with appeasement. Instead, a robust response is needed to maintain international order and secure the liberty of future generations.
While some may call for patience and diplomacy, such weakness only emboldens those who wish us harm. The so-called experts liken this situation to the Salman Rushdie fatwa because they know how real the danger is. Rushdie’s example is a stark reminder that these extremists harbor enmity for decades, waiting patiently in the shadows. Allowing such hostile elements to remain unchecked is essentially inviting havoc into our borders. And the progressives who downplay these threats are jeopardizing our national security for the sake of political correctness.
When medieval barbarians make threats of violence, prudence alone dictates that one should take them seriously. Above all, that means removing their operatives from your country. Sunday on the social media platform X, journalist Niyak Ghorbani, an… https://t.co/3hAzICyXZF pic.twitter.com/ocVT45FIoU

In times like these, America must prioritize its homeland security. We can’t afford to let potential operatives exploit our porous borders. It’s time to amp up border security and enforce mass deportations of illegal aliens who may sympathize with those issuing these fatal edicts. The left can dither and pontificate all they want, trying to balance diplomacy with naivety, but right now, safety depends on action, on a Trump-style “America First” approach.
The ball is not in our court to succumb to Iran’s ideological warfare. The real question is how long will it take for the West to dig its heels in? Standing idly by as radicalists issue death decrees isn’t an option. The rogue regimes only understand strength, and anything less will be deemed weakness. How much longer will it take for the global community to demand that all nations, especially Iran, play by the rules?
