Iran newspaper publishes list of 13 foreign leaders as revenge targets

A conservative newspaper in Iran known for its provocative tone has published a list of people to be targeted as revenge for the killing of supreme leader Ali Khamenei, including the leaders of the US, Israel and European countries.“Vengeance is the will of our nation and must inevitably be carried out,” said Khamenei’s son and successor Mojtaba Khamenei on Saturday in his first message since his father’s funeral this week.“These criminals, whose names appear on a list, will take to their graves the wish of a peaceful death in their beds.”The Hamshahri newspaper released an infographic online late Saturday featuring photos of 13 foreign leaders alongside Mojtaba’s statement.The infographic includes US President Trump, Israeli PM Netanyahu and British PM Starmer, among others. It does not appear in the paper’s Sunday print edition.Also on the list are US secretary of state Marco Rubio and defence secretary Pete Hegseth, French President Macron, Italian PM Meloni and German Chancellor Merz.(AFP)
