Mojtaba Khamenei Vows Revenge for Father After Funeral
He said Iran had compiled a list of targets as tensions with the United States and Israel rose after the funeral procession.
- On July 11, the Iranian newspaper The Hamshahri published an online infographic identifying 13 foreign leaders as revenge targets for Ali Khamenei's death, including President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- US-Israeli strikes killed Ali Khamenei on February 28, marking the start of the Middle East war. His son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has vowed vengeance against those responsible for his father's death.
- The infographic also names British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as targets.
- "Vengeance is the will of our nation and must inevitably be carried out," Mojtaba said on July 11 in his first message since his father's funeral, warning those on the list will not die peacefully.
- There is no indication the newspaper's infographic is officially endorsed, though the supreme leader previously mentioned a target list without naming individuals. Iran has accused European nations of complicity by allowing US military aircraft to utilize their airspace.
