Iranian state-linked outlets have published a list of senior officials they claim bear responsibility for the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Donald Trump, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and IDF Chief of Staff Zamir, as well as the leaders of the UK, Germany, France, and Italy, according to reports.
The list, circulated via Iranian state-linked channels, names Israeli and Western leaders as targets for what Tehran describes as revenge for the elimination of Khamenei. The Zioneer has reported on previous Iranian threats and assassination lists since Israel confirmed its role in the operation. The latest list includes the leaders of the UK, Germany, France, and Italy alongside the Israeli and American officials. It is not clear whether the list represents a formal policy shift or an escalatory rhetorical move.
