  • An Iranian newspaper published a "black list" of individuals allegedly responsible for the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
  • The list included photos of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • Meloni was depicted in an orange detainee uniform, and Trump and Netanyahu were shown with targets on their foreheads.

The Iranian newspaper Hamshari has published a provocative "black list" featuring individuals it accuses of responsibility for the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The list, which appeared on the day Khamenei's son threatened 'revenge,' included prominent international figures.

Among those featured was Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, depicted in an orange uniform typically worn by prisoners. U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were also included, notably with targets superimposed on their foreheads, amplifying the menacing tone of the publication.

Hamshari, a newspaper owned by the Tehran municipality, presented the image as part of its coverage following Khamenei's death. The publication of such a list, especially with the accompanying imagery, signals a strong retaliatory stance from certain factions within Iran, directed at perceived enemies.
