The Tehran municipality-owned daily Hamshahri published a front page Tuesday morning placing US President Donald Trump in rifle crosshairs, alongside the headline 'Revenge is inevitable' and a quote attributed to Supreme Leader Khamenei demanding accountability for 'war criminals.' An earlier version of the same front page was already reported by The Zioneer at 06:42 today; the new circulation includes a second quote explicitly linking the call for revenge to the death of 'the leader Khamenei,' according to the paper's pages circulated via Iranian Telegram channels.
The Tehran municipality-run daily Hamshahri published an updated version of its front page Tuesday morning, placing US President Donald Trump in rifle crosshairs with the headline 'Revenge is inevitable.' The new circulation, first reported by The Zioneer at 06:42, now includes an explicit quote from Supreme Leader Khamenei demanding accountability for 'war criminals' and a call to avenge the death of the 'leader Khamenei' and other 'martyrs,' according to the paper's pages circulated via Iranian Telegram channels.
The earlier bulletin noted the front page featured Trump in crosshairs alongside the 'revenge is inevitable' headline. This updated version adds a second attributed quote making the call for revenge explicitly about the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's death.
This escalation in Iranian state-affiliated media rhetoric follows a series of hardline calls for retribution since the killing of the supreme leader on June 8. As The Zioneer reported, the hardline daily Kayhan called for Trump's assassination on American soil on June 29, and Iranian MP Mojtaba Zarei called for Trump's execution on June 16. The Hamshahri front page marks the first time a Tehran municipality-owned outlet has placed Trump in literal crosshairs on its cover, signaling direct institutional endorsement of the revenge narrative.
