This is an affront to a prominent Islamic figure and religious authority and exposes the criminal dimensions of the arrogant US regime’s policies, the Noon Quranic Institute said in a statement, which is as follows:
In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
“That indeed is so, as for him who retaliates in proportion to the excess committed against him, and is thereafter again subjected to transgression, Allah will surely aid him. Verily Allah is All-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.” (Verse 60 of Surah Al-Hajj)
In the ugliest display of arrogance, folly, and tyranny, the American administration, notorious for its colonialist ambitions and exploitation of nations for its sinister agendas, has once again revealed its true nature. US President Donald Trump has now openly threatened to assassinate the supreme religious authority, Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. This reckless and brazen act—an affront to a prominent Islamic figure and religious authority—exposes the criminal dimensions of this arrogant regime’s policies, which have no connection to democracy or human rights and show no respect for the sanctities of the Islamic Ummah.
At the Noon Quranic Institute in Yemen, we vehemently condemn this vile and insulting threat against Islam and Muslims. It is a blatant aggression against the scholars and jurists of the Islamic Ummah, who are its guiding lights, as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“The likeness of the scholars is that of the stars in the sky, guiding travelers through the darkness of land and sea. If the stars are extinguished, the travelers will soon be lost.”
The tyrants of the world delude themselves into thinking that by threatening the lives of the noble resistance fighters—those who have embraced the path of blessed Jihad, a gate to paradise that God has opened for His chosen ones—they can break and humiliate them. But this will never happen! These free men are the children of Imam Hussain (AS), who declared to the tyrant of his time:
“Know that this impure son [Yazid] has given me a choice between martyrdom and humiliation. Never shall we accept humiliation! God, His Messenger, the believers, and our pure dignity and noble souls will never allow us to prefer submission to oppressors over honorable death.”

In this statement, we pledge before God, His Messenger, and the believers to remain steadfast on the path of truth. We shall never dishonor our true leaders—the eminent Maraji‘ (grand religious authorities) and the honorable scholars of the Ummah—who, through their knowledge and jurisprudential rulings, defend the pure Muhammadan Islam and stand firm against the enemies of Islam.
We beseech Almighty God to protect His Eminence Ayatollah Imam Khamenei and shelter him within His impenetrable fortress. We entrust him to You, O God! So, with an eye that never sleeps, be his guardian, and by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, grant him victory.”
