Here is the **English translation** of the Persian letter in the image you provided:
**In the Name of God**
**To the blessed office of the Grand Shia Marja, His Eminence Ayatollah al-Uzma Makarem Shirazi**
With greetings and respect:
In recent days, we have witnessed that the President of the United States and the leaders of the Zionist regime have repeatedly threatened the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and some scholars and Marja (sources of emulation) with assassination and terror.
Your Excellency, what is the ruling of Islamic society and the leadership of the Muslim community regarding the threat of assassination and terror against the Supreme Leader, scholars, and Marja by the US government or anyone else? What is the duty of Muslims worldwide in response to this action?
May God protect all scholars, Marja, and the Supreme Leader of the Revolution under the shadow of the guardianship of the Imam of the Age, and may He grant them health and security, and repel the enemies of religion.
Peace and God’s mercy be upon you.
A group of believers and Muslims
**In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful**
It is clear that threatening the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Marja, and the leadership of the Muslim community with assassination is forbidden (haram) and has a severe ruling. It is the duty of Muslims and Islamic governments to strengthen their protection and, if necessary, to retaliate against the perpetrators.
Muslims around the world must not allow these enemies to achieve their evil goals. If, God forbid, such an event occurs, the response will be severe and unforgettable.
May God protect the Islamic society from the evil of the enemies and hasten the reappearance of His Eminence, the Imam of the Age.
Naser Makarem Shirazi
Shaban 1403 (Islamic calendar)
