Iran’s top clerics have disgracefully called for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Assembly of Experts advocated for the deaths of “the criminal American president” and “the wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime.” The disturbing remarks come as the regime demands vengeance for the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Iranian clerics call for assassination of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu

Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings reacts to Iran’s most senior clerics calling for the assassination of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “What you have in Iran is a kind of split between the extremists in charge and an even more extreme bunch of clerics who want to continue the fight,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “I think an enormous problem on the desk of the President is do we start military conflict again, or do we now live with, bizarrely, a stronger Iran? “It’s not a good outcome for the United States.”
