The Iranian newspaper Hamshari has published what it describes as a 'black list,' featuring photographs of individuals it alleges are responsible for the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Among those pictured is Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, depicted in an orange prisoner's uniform.

The list, published by the Tehran municipality-owned newspaper, includes a range of high-profile international figures. Notably, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are shown with targets superimposed on their foreheads. Other leaders featured include British Prime Minister Starmer, French President Macron, and German Chancellor Merz.

Several American and Israeli officials are also named and pictured. These include Secretary of State Rubio, Pentagon chief Hegseth, Centcom commander Cooper, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Huckabee, and Israeli ministers of Defense Katz and Foreign Affairs Sa'ar, as well as IDF chief of staff Zamir.

The newspaper's publication follows a written message from Ayatollah Khamenei's son, Mojtaba, who issued threats of 'revenge' against those implicated in his father's death.
