Journalist Amit Segal (N12) revealed Wednesday afternoon that Iran's Ministry of Intelligence has added him to a blacklist of 'hostile' individuals, alongside Yosef Haddad and Emily Schrader. The list warns that any contact with those listed could lead to years of imprisonment. Segal welcomed the designation, saying he 'apparently did something right.'
Earlier Wednesday at 12:47 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iran's Ministry of Intelligence had officially listed Yosef Haddad as a 'hostile personality' under a law targeting cooperation with Israel. Haddad, ranked third on the list, vowed to intensify his activism against the regime. At 11:50 Jerusalem, The Zioneer also reported that the ministry had listed the Instagram account of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs and Security (JCFA) as a 'hostile' entity. The three listings—Segal, Haddad, and JCFA—appear to be part of a coordinated campaign by the Iranian intelligence apparatus against Israeli journalists and institutions.
As The Zioneer reported on Saturday, July 11, Iranian media circulated an updated assassination list naming Israeli ministers and the IDF chief of staff, alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump. The expansion of the kill list and the addition of journalists to the blacklist reflect an intensifying Iranian campaign against Israeli figures, as part of a broader legal framework criminalizing contact with Israeli entities.
It remains unclear how widely the blacklist is enforced, whether it has been circulated to other Iranian government bodies, or if additional individuals or organizations will be added. No verification of the list's operational impact has been independently confirmed.
