A conservative newspaper in Iran known for its provocative tone has published a list of people who will be targeted in revenge for the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, including leaders of the United States, Israel and European countries.
US-Israeli strikes killed the late Ayatollah on February 28, the first day of the Middle East war, and his son and successor Mojtaba Khamenei vowed revenge.
“Revenge is the will of our nation and it must inevitably be carried out,” Mr Mojtaba said on Saturday in his first message since his father’s funeral this week.
“These criminals whose names appear on the list will take to their graves a wish for a peaceful death in their beds.”
Hamshahri A newspaper published by the Iranian capital authorities published an infographic online late on Saturday (July 11, 2026) containing photographs of 13 foreign leaders along with Mr. Mojtaba’s statement.
