AhlulBayt News Agency: A prominent Indian Shia cleric has strongly condemned what he described as threats and insults by Donald Trump against the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, saying such rhetoric amounts to open hostility toward the entire Muslim Ummah.
In a statement, Hojatoleslam Seyyed Abbas Mehdi Hasani, an Indian scholar residing in the holy city of Qom, denounced Trump’s remarks targeting Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, describing them as reckless, offensive, and revealing of Trump’s true character.
Hasani said it has now become clear to people around the world who Trump truly is, while at the same time the moral stature, popularity, and humanitarian character of Ayatollah Khamenei continue to grow in the hearts of nations.
Trump widely discredited worldwide
The Indian cleric said Trump’s “dark record” and oppressive policies are no secret, adding that this is why he has become widely discredited and despised across the globe.
“Whatever superficial respect is still portrayed for him is merely the product of purchased media outlets and a managed cyberspace,” Hasani said.
He warned that Trump’s warmongering policies pose a serious threat to global peace, stressing that unless peace-loving nations unite and erect a firm barrier against his expansionist and coercive behavior, the world could be dragged into widespread insecurity.
Threatening leadership reflects political failure
Referring to historical precedents, Hasani said it has always been the case that morally bankrupt individuals attempt to intimidate and threaten great and noble figures.
“In our time, one of the greatest personalities of history is Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, while one of the most ignoble figures is Donald Trump,” he said.
The cleric noted that after Trump’s deceptive and hostile plots were defeated by what he described as the wisdom and strategic leadership of Iran’s Leader, Trump resorted to direct threats against him.
“This behavior reflects nothing but weakness, desperation, and political failure,” Hasani said.
Ayatollah Khamenei symbol of global conscience
Hasani said Trump’s offensive remarks reveal what he called his “satanic nature,” adding that Trump fails to understand that the name of Ayatollah Khamenei resonates as the heartbeat of millions of free and dignified people around the world.
In the concluding part of his statement, the Indian cleric issued a stark warning, saying that any threatening gesture toward the Leader of Muslims would be met with firm resistance.
“If Trump even dares to cast a threatening glance toward the Leader of the Muslim world, the honorable people of the world—especially the Islamic Ummah—will never allow him to achieve his malicious goals,” Hasani said. “Even if standing against such aggression demands the ultimate sacrifice, the Ummah will not retreat.”
He concluded that respect for Islamic leadership and unity among Muslims remain decisive factors in confronting what he described as arrogance, intimidation, and global injustice.
