Iran Military Guide

Supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s, “Martyrdom-seeking operations mark the highest point of the greatness of a nation and the peak of its epic. A man, a youth, a boy, and a girl who are prepared to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the interests of the nation and their religion is the symbol of the greatest pride, courage, and bravery”. In a 2011 fatwa by Iranian Ayatollah Taqi Mesbah-e Yazdi, posted on his website, ruled that martyrdom operations were not only legitimate but were a duty incumbent upon every Muslim. And any Muslim who believes differently has been corrupted by western propaganda. In addition he wrote that Israeli civilians, children were to be regarded as legitimate targets.
