Speaking in Iran, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan warned U.S. President Donald Trump to not pull “the trigger of war in the Middle East at the insistence of Israel.”

The 85-year-old, known for his anti-Semitic vitriol, blasted Trump for reimposing sanctions on Iran earlier this week. There, he led a chant of “Death to Israel” in Farsi, according to Iranian media.

“[I am] begging our president and the government that supports him to be very, very careful.”

“The war will trigger another kind of war which will bring China, Russia, all of the nations into a war and … the war will end America as you know it,” he said.

This development comes just weeks after NOI posted a video on Facebook of Farrakhan comparing Jews to “termites.”

“Evidently, the Orange County/LA Club determined that endangering the Jewish community is not disqualifying or inconsistent with ‘truth,’ ‘fairness,’ and building ‘goodwill,’” Julia Heiman of the Jewish Community Action Network said.
“I’m really concerned that we find ourselves in this place that many Americans are even questioning why we’re supporting Israel,” Rep. Dan Newhouse told JNS.
Srinivasan Muralidhar said that whether Israeli forces employed large-scale airstrikes or precise sniper fire, the aim was to kill Palestinian children in Gaza.
The city mayor said at a press conference that the Big Apple is having its “safest start to any year on record.”
“Since the fall of the Assad regime, President Ahmed Al-Sharaa and the new Syrian government have demonstrated continued commitment to counterterrorism operations within Syria,” according to Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Joe Wilson.
“This is the reality of being Jewish under the mayoral control of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” said Moshe Spern of United Jewish Teachers. “It’s open city on attacking the Jews.”
