Trump and Pompeo ‘Next’ for ‘Divine Revenge’ After Attack on ‘Apostate’ Rushdie: Iranian MediaPeter Caddle 14 Aug 2022
A newspaper under the control of Iran’s Supreme Leader has said that Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo could soon be “next” for “divine revenge” while celebrating the attack on “apostate” author Salman Rushdie.
President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State and CIA director Mike Pompeo should feel “threatened” as a result of the attack on “apostate” author Salman Rushdie, a newspaper under the control of Iran’s Supreme Leader has claimed, with the paper threatening that the two former U.S. officials could be “next” for “divine revenge”.
Having sustained serious injuries on Friday after being stabbed multiple times at an event in New York, British-American author Salman Rushdie had been marked for death by the Iranian regime for decades, with the country’s then supreme theocratic leader Ayatollah Khomeini calling for “Muslims of the world rapidly to execute the author and the publishers of the book” so that “no one will any longer dare to offend the sacred values of Islam.”
Media in Iran have since celebrated the attack on the award-winning author, with the newspaper Kayhan — which is under the control of the officer of Iran’s current Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — warning both Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo that they may well be next over their role in orchestrating the assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Qassem Soleimani.
“The attack on Salman Rushdie showed that taking revenge on the perpetrators of crimes and criminals on American soil is not a difficult task, and after this, Trump and Pompeo will feel more threatened,” an editorial published in the paper on Sunday read, which claimed that Rushdie suffered the “divine revenge” that both of the American officials may too suffer.
“Since the Iranian authorities have repeatedly warned that the main perpetrators of the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of the Quds Force, will pay for their crime and must be brought to justice, in the last three years, Trump and other perpetrators of this assassination have been in fear of they are taking revenge on Iran and they don’t even dare to travel outside America,” the paper suggested.
“Therefore, the attack on Salman Rushdie was a warning to the perpetrators of Sardar Soleimani’s assassination that even if they are under the extensive protection of the security forces, how close revenge is to them,” it concluded.
