Iranian Protesters Display Hit List Including Miriam Adelson and Donald Trump

During a demonstration in Tehran, protesters held up posters featuring images of American and Israeli-American figures marked for assassination. The visuals included former U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson, Senator Lindsey Graham, FDD researcher Mark Dubowitz, and Jewish journalists Ben Shapiro and Laura Loomer. Each photo was overlaid with a rifle crosshair and accompanied by the phrase, "Sooner or later your heads will be split."

The video footage, recorded against the backdrop of the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was shared on social media. Jewish journalist Laura Loomer accused a Turkish channel on platform X of distributing the video, which she said incites Muslims to carry out assassinations, including against her. Loomer warned of an ongoing "foreign Islamic influence campaign."

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has previously attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. In July 2024, a Pakistani citizen linked to the IRGC was arrested for trying to hire hitmen for this purpose. Later that year, an Iranian citizen received direct orders from the IRGC to plan an assassination attempt on Trump ahead of the elections.
