New Delhi: Israel burns with the fire of revenge against Iran. Israel is desperate for revenge for Iran’s 200 rockets. Nobody knows when and from where Israel will attack Iran. Such a revelation has now come to light, causing even America’s ears to perk up. America immediately alerted Israel. What actually happened is that Israel’s hit list does not include Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, but he is a person who is 94 years old. This person is none other than the Shiite religious leader Ayatollah Ali Sistani. As soon as the name of 94-year-old Shiite religious leader Ayatollah Ali Sistani appeared in Israeli television’s hit list instead of Khamenei, America immediately became alarmed.

In fact, US Ambassador to Iraq Alina Romanowski condemned the appearance of Shiite religious leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in a hit list on Israeli broadcaster Channel 14. America praised the Muslim religious leader, describing him as someone who worked for a more peaceful region. In addition, America expressed solidarity with Muslim religious leader Al-Sistani on Thursday. In fact, Al-Sistani was featured on Israeli television as a greatest hits. Anger is growing in the Middle East over the broadcast, particularly among Shiite groups.

What did America say?
US Ambassador Romanowski said in a social media post, without mentioning the Israeli broadcast, that Grand Ayatollah Sistani was a well-known and respected religious leader in the international community. He is an important and influential voice in promoting a more peaceful region. We reject any proposal to target Grand Ayatollah Sistani. The United States will continue to support efforts to promote peace in the region.

What was shown on Israeli television?
Israeli television channel 14 had shown images of Israel’s greatest enemies, including Hezbollah deputy chief Nai Qasim and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Among these images was the image of the Shiite guru Al-Sistani. Shown with red crosshairs on his head. When the people of the Shia community saw this, they became angry. Interestingly, Khamenei’s name was not included. When America saw this, it also became angry. He immediately told Israel that it was wrong to put a Shiite Muslim religious leader on the hit list.

Who is Al-Sistani?
The Shiite Muslim guru al-Sistani is 94 years old. He is an Iraqi scholar of Iranian origin. Al-Sistani is considered one of the highest religious leaders among Shiite Muslims. He is rarely seen in public. He lives in Najaf, south of Baghdad. But he is not visible in public. One of his last known photos shows his meeting with Pope Francis in 2021. However, from time to time they issue statements to their followers that serve as guidance. As early as 2014, he called on Iraqis to unite and defend their country against ISIS.
