Many in the Iranian leadership believe the war launched by Israel and the United States in February is the war of the end times: the final showdown with the US – the Great Satan – and al-Dajjāl – Donald Trump.
Iranian senior cleric Ayatollah Seyyed Hassan Ameli declared Donald Trump “al-Dajjāl” – the Muslim equivalent of the Antichrist, in a sermon.
Trump “is completely one-eyed, and this is a sign of the end times,” he said. (Being one-eyed is a key marker of the Dajjāl.) And Trump “sees the world through a material lens” and “covets wealth wherever it exists – whether it’s Middle Eastern Oil, Syrian oil, or Ukraine’s minerals”.
