A popular Iranian newspaper closely affiliated with the regime published a front-page image on Tuesday featuring U.S. President Donald Trump in the crosshairs of a rifle scope alongside the headline, “Revenge Is Certain.”

The image was published in Hamshahri, a newspaper owned by the Tehran municipality.

Meanwhile, White House officials said on Monday night that US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are heading to Qatar for talks with Iranian officials in Doha. However, Iranian officials denied that direct negotiations with the US will take place.

A Qatari spokesperson said on Tuesday morning that Kushner and Witkoff will meet with Qatar mediators but will not hold a high-level meeting with Iranian officials.

 

Hamshahri’s headline, “Revenge Is Certain,” directly references Iran’s repeated pledges to retaliate for Soleimani’s death.

Beneath the main headline, the front page quotes Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, as saying, “War criminals should be prosecuted.”
