“Those in the armies [of the Arab leaders] who have faith in their hearts, and fear Allah's punishment for abandoning their brothers in Palestine should make a move and do something now in these despicable and collaborating armies that protect the Jews and the apostate [Arab] rulers. This is especially true for the pilots. They should strike the Jews, the American military bases in the region, and the American aircraft carriers that are looming in the sea here. At the very least, they should strike the palaces of the treacherous Arab rulers – a dog’s tail is just as impure as its head.”“AQAP Leader Sa'ad Al-Awlaki Calls For Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: ‘There Are No Red Lines,’” Middle East Media Research Institute, June 8, 2025, https://www.memri.org/tv/aqap-al-awlaki-calls-for-assassinations-targets-trump-musk-jews.

“My Muslim brothers in America: The infidel American sniper Thomas Crooks was not braver than you are, in terms of self-sacrifice and death when he wanted to kill the tyrannical Trump. The same is true for the Christian Elias Rodriguez who recently killed two staff members of the Zionists' embassy in Washington, as well as Bushnell, the American soldier who self-immolated in front of the Jewish embassy in America, protesting their killing of Muslims. What are you doing, compared to these sacrifices?”“AQAP Leader Sa'ad Al-Awlaki Calls For Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: ‘There Are No Red Lines,’” Middle East Media Research Institute, June 8, 2025, https://www.memri.org/tv/aqap-al-awlaki-calls-for-assassinations-targets-trump-musk-jews.

“I advise you to read the English-language Inspire magazine. It contains a lot of guidance that will benefit every free person who is zealous for their religion. Let me remind you that the number of Jews in America is not small – there are about six million Jews [in the U.S.], about the same number as in Palestine. Moreover, a third of those in the occupied Palestinian lands have American citizenship. Our brothers in Europe: You are approximately 16 million strong. Do not leave a single safe place for Jews, just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians. Even hospitals are being bombed over the heads of the sick and wounded, and the heads of the women, children, and the elderly. Revenge! Revenge! Let each do so with what he does best and excels at.”“AQAP Leader Sa'ad Al-Awlaki Calls For Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: ‘There Are No Red Lines,’” Middle East Media Research Institute, June 8, 2025, https://www.memri.org/tv/aqap-al-awlaki-calls-for-assassinations-targets-trump-musk-jews.

“These are serious warnings to Zionist officials, to US officials. The criminal prime minister of the Zionist regime talks a lot these days, threatens Iran. I’m issuing a serious warning: if you make one wrong move, we will open up the gates of hell on you. Sit down and stay in your place ... we have made extensive preparations. If you make a mistake, we’ll act on you in a way that you forget the True Promise 1 and 2.”“IRGC chief says has plans for Israel, US if they dare 'make a mistake,’” Iran International, May 8, 2025, https://www.iranintl.com/en/202505083325.

“The Afghan nation rejoices in the defeat of the occupiers and the triumph of the people and fighters of Gaza, regarding Gaza as an integral part of its identity, sharing in the joys and sorrows of its oppressed brothers…The occupiers, having faced humiliation for 15 months, will soon encounter the reality of total defeat, as the dreams of martyrs and leaders like Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar come to fruition, God willing.”Bill Roggio, “Taliban emir decries ‘Zionist assaults and acts of oppression’ in Gaza,” Long War Journal, June 7, 2025, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2025/06/taliban-emir-decries-zionist-assaults-and-acts-of-oppression-in-gaza.php.
