Iranian Media Amplify Mojtaba Khamenei’s Threats of Imminent Revenge Against Gulf Leaders

Iranian newspapers prominently featured threats from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei regarding revenge for his father’s death and plans to eliminate several leaders, including those from Gulf states. The Iranian daily "Iran Arrest" headlined "Revenge Against the Criminals Is Certain," displaying images of Gulf leaders such as UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa, and Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, alongside Israeli and American leadership, highlighting Tehran’s anger at Gulf countries for aiding the United States.

The Tehran municipality-owned newspaper "Hamshahri" published a provocative image showing U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in crosshairs, accompanied by the caption "Revenge Is Certain." The image also included various international and Israeli politicians and public figures depicted in prisoner uniforms, including Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Brad Cooper, Mike Huckabee, Israel Katz, Eyal Zamir, Giorgia Meloni, Gideon Sa'ar, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, and Keir Starmer.

Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards released a new photo of Mojtaba Khamenei, asserting he is in good health amid opposition claims of his poor condition. This image was published on the official website of the Supreme Leader’s office. The widespread media coverage in Iran underscores the regime’s intent to project strength and issue clear warnings to its adversaries in the region and beyond.
