Iran's 'Hit List': Trump, Meloni, Macron, and Others Targeted After US Senator's Death

Iran's 'Hit List': Trump, Meloni, Macron, and Others Targeted After US Senator's Death

📅 July 14, 2026 🏷️ International
Tensions between Iran and the West have reached a critical new phase following the sudden death of US Senator Lindsey Graham. Iranian media outlets have responded with aggressive warnings, publishing graphic content that identifies key Western and Israeli leaders as targets for retaliation. The prominent Iranian newspaper 'Humshahari' featured a front-page graphic of 13 global political and military figures, accompanied by the chilling headline: 'Be Ready for Sudden Death.'

### The 'Hit List'
The list includes:
* **US Officials:** Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
* **Israeli Officials:** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi (referred to as Eyal Zamir in reports).
* **European Leaders:** Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, British PM Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The newspaper accuses these individuals of being responsible for the assassination of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Other state-aligned papers like 'Vatan-e-Emrooz' referred to Senator Lindsey Graham as a 'merchant of death,' while 'Kayhan' proclaimed that 'Iran has achieved its goals and a new phase of war has begun.'

### Iran's Vow for Revenge
This escalation coincides with the first public statement from Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. Following his father's funeral, he vowed to seek retribution for the 'martyred leaders' of Iran. In a statement read on state television, he declared, 'We swear to take revenge for the blood of these martyr leaders and all the martyrs from these criminal and infamous murderers.' He described this act of vengeance as a demand of the Iranian nation, asserting that the mission would be fulfilled. The international community is closely monitoring these developments as the rhetoric points toward a significant intensification of the ongoing regional conflict.
