Iranian newspaper publishes 'death list' targeting foreign leaders

An Iranian newspaper has published a provocative "death list" featuring foreign leaders, intensifying regional tensions. The Hamshari newspaper, affiliated with the Tehran City Council, depicted several international figures as responsible for the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The publication included symbolic imagery of revenge. Notably, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was shown wearing an orange prisoner's uniform. This was released on the same day a message attributed to Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, spoke of "revenge" against those deemed responsible for his father's alleged assassination.

The list specifically named U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with targets painted on their foreheads. Other prominent figures included British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Several American and Israeli officials were also named.

This provocative publication occurs during a period of significant escalation in the Middle East. Tehran has consistently maintained a hardline rhetoric directed at both the United States and Israel, further fueling the ongoing animosity.
