It’s more like a verdict or ruling. For example, Muslims can only declare war if Muslims have been killed or if Muslim property has been destroyed. They also aren’t supposed to declare war against other Muslims.
So when the Israelis fired missiles on Iran with American weapons, it becomes a question of how involved is the US? Isreal has met the criteria according to the teachings of Muhammad and the Koran. The fatwa is issued here where scholars consult the Koran and each other over whether or not declaring war on the US would violate the law. The Iranians have concluded the US does meet the criteria because the US is acting through Isreal as its proxy.
This is what’s been said by their officials and why the announcement. It’s similar to the US Supreme Court ruling whether or not drone strikes are constitutional and within the president’s power, then making an announcement for or against.
