The Tehran municipality-owned daily Hamshahri published an article threatening to kill American, British, French, German, and Italian leaders, according to the newspaper's own publication circulated on Iranian Telegram channels.
The Iranian daily Hamshahri, owned by the Tehran municipality and long used as a platform for regime-aligned psychological warfare, has escalated its rhetoric. In a new publication circulated via Iranian Telegram channels in the early hours of Monday, the paper explicitly threatens to kill leaders of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy. The threat follows a series of similar regime-aligned media provocations in recent weeks, including Hamshahri front pages placing President Donald Trump in rifle crosshairs and an editorial in the hardline daily Kayhan calling for Trump's assassination with a $100 million bounty, as The Zioneer previously reported. The current threat widens the targets beyond American officials to multiple European heads of state. The publication has not been independently verified by Western sources, and it remains unclear whether it reflects official Iranian policy or internal factional signaling. The paper's previous threats have not been accompanied by confirmed operational capabilities against foreign leaders outside the region.
