The office of Iraq's highest religious authority, Sayyed Ali al-Sistani, issued a statement strongly condemning the ongoing military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The statement expressed deep concern over the continuation of the attacks and warned against any threats targeting Iran’s top religious and political leadership, stressing that any such criminal act would carry extremely grave consequences for the stability and security of the entire region.

The statement urged influential international actors and all countries, particularly those in the Islamic world, to exert their utmost efforts to bring an immediate end to what it described as an unjust war.

It further called on the international community to pursue a fair and peaceful resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue, in accordance with the principles of international law.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday did not rule out plans to assassinate Iranian Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei, claiming it would end the war between the two sides.

A day later, President Donald Trump claimed on social media that the United States knows where Sayyed Khamenei is located but will not kill him "for now".
