He said he didn't have a problem with America or Americans, just those three. He said that recently the Americans worked out agreements with Iran, it's just Trump and those other two.
Does that mean there will be a fatwah placed on them?

I cannot locate it. Has anyone else seen this? I might be late to the posts on this one.

(51,627 posts)and I take that to mean that they know we do not support this BS attack. Good!
If they go after Bolton, Pompeo and tRump I say, "Go for it!" since they do not represent Americans on this one. Iran is going to the sources of the animosity and attacks, both currently and in the past (Bolton).

Per the Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_to_America
On 8 February 2019, Ali Khamenei stated "Death to America means death to Trump, Bolton and Pompeo. We criticize American politicians who are managing that country. Iranian nation are not against American people."[9]
