UK cleric funded by council calls for revenge against US and Israel

Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani and Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued fatwas calling for revenge against the US and Israel following the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Hamedani emphasized that avenging Khamenei’s death is a duty for all Muslims, while Shirazi labeled the US and Israel as “the most wicked enemies of humanity.” Notably, Shirazi’s charity, International Islamic Link, received a £15,000 grant from Brent Council to promote religious tolerance, but the council later ceased funding amid concerns over possible ties to the IRGC.
