This represents the first time in history that crowdfunding technology ($40M raised) has been combined with a religious decree to target a Western leader. The public nature of the fundraising, coupled with official state sanction, creates an unprecedented hybrid of religious authority, popular support, and digital mobilization that transforms traditional fatwa dynamics.
Iran's $1M Trump Fatwa: Ancient Persia Rises Against Modern Babylon
📰 What Happened
Iran's Grand Ayatollah Shirazi has issued an unprecedented fatwa calling for former President Trump's assassination, offering a $1.14M bounty. The July 2025 decree marks the first time a sovereign state has officially sanctioned the killing of a US president. The regime-backed fatwa designates Trump as 'mohareb' (enemy of God) and has garnered $40M in public crowdfunding support. Mansour Emami, head of Islamic Propagation in West Azerbaijan Province, publicly endorsed the 100 billion toman reward.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Iran/Persia's geographic significance in prophecy takes on new dimensions with this fatwa. The $40M crowdfunded bounty demonstrates Iran's ability to mobilize massive grassroots resources against 'Babylon the Great' (often interpreted as Western powers). The official religious designation of 'mohareb' by Ayatollah Shirazi aligns with Daniel 8's description of Persia's latter-day aggression. The West Azerbaijan Province's involvement points to Iran's expanding influence in biblical territories where ancient Media once stood (Daniel 5:28), suggesting the prophesied Persian alliance system is gaining momentum.
