On June 19, 2025, Afghan journalist Sami Jahesh shared a video of noted Afghan Taliban commander Abdul Hamid Khorasani declaring in Dari that killing Iranians and Shi'ites, including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his followers, brings great spiritual reward. It is not clear when the video was released. Khorasani, known for his controversial positions, urges Afghan migrants in Iran to kill Ali Khamenei and his Shi'ite followers, stating: "Killing these people, Khamenei and his followers, brings immense reward." A screenshot from the video Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini "Khamenei Himself, May God's Curse Be Upon Him, Is A Number One Bastard – These People [Shi'ites]... Are Bastards" "Iranians are vile people... They offer their daughters and women to our migrant youths [Afghans]... they are disgraceful. [Iranian Supreme leader Ali Hosseini] Khamenei himself, may God's curse be upon him, is a number one bastard. These people [Shi'ites]... are bastards. Those who doubt that Khamenei and his followers are bastards do not possess sound reason or logic. "I will give you religious reasons. Those who doubt, go and read their blasphemous and polytheistic beliefs... in [Shi'ites books] Bihar Al-Anwar, Nahj Al-Balagha... read these things and see what kind of blasphemies and polytheistic statements they make. "These people are not religious – they are a religion, a separate religion, completely a separate religion. Real scholars understand and know this. But telling the truth requires courage and determination." Addressing Afghan Migrants In Iran: "If You Have Courage, If You Have Even A Bit Of Faith In You, Look – There Are Knives, There Are Pistols, Everything – Kill Them [Iranians And The Shi'ites], Slaughter Them From Behind" "If you have courage, if you have even a bit of faith in you, look – there are knives, there are pistols, everything – kill them [Iranians and the Shi'ites], slaughter them from behind. "Slaughter them from behind so that the cowardly, dishonorable, wicked, polytheistic, and filthy Iranians know the honor of the Muslim people of Afghanistan – so that they no longer oppress my poor and helpless compatriots. "I give you... a fatwa [religious decree] from the Holy Word of Allah – they are idolaters, unbelievers, worse than the Jews and Christians. And with religious evidence, I challenge anyone who disagrees... anyone at all: killing these people, Khamenei and his followers, brings immense reward. "If you kill one of Khamenei's accursed followers, it is like killing ten Jews, it is like killing ten Jews. That is how great the reward is, because they are polytheists, rude, and insolent."

Senior Hamas Official Urges Attacks On U.S., Israeli Interests Worldwide To Thwart Trump's Relocation Plan For Gazans: 'Spare No IED, Bullet, Knife, Or Stone'
The following report is now a complimentary offering from MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM). For JTTM subscription information, click here. On March 30, 2025, the Palestinian Quds News Network published an X post citing a statement from senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri calling for attacks on Israeli and American interests in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's plan of "voluntary relocation" for Gazans.[1] According to the post, Abu Zuhri claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent statements about Israel's intent to implement Trump's plan reveal an "American-Zionist scheme linked to the displacement project." During a government meeting that morning, Netanyahu declared that Israel would "enable the implementation of Trump's plan."[2] Abu Zuhri asserted: "In the face of this diabolical plan, which combines massacres and starvation, everyone who can bear arms anywhere in the world must act. Do not spare an IED, a bullet, a knife, or a stone. Let everyone break their silence. We are all sinners if the interests of America and the Zionist occupation remain safe in light of the slaughter and starvation of Gaza." On March 18, the Palestine Scholars Association (PSA), which is led by members of Hamas, urged Muslims to carry out "jihad operations" against Israeli and American interests around the world.[3] On the same day, Hamas called to besiege Israeli and U.S. embassies worldwide.[4]
