Iran's hardline dailies demand revenge for Khamenei’s killing

Jul 6, 2026, 01:15 GMT+1

Hardline Iranian newspapers called for avenging Ali Khamenei’s killing on Monday, with some demanding that those responsible for his death be targeted.

The calls come as funeral ceremonies for the former Supreme Leader continue across Iran.

The ultraconservative Asr-e Iranian (Age of Iranians), a newspaper close to the Paydari Party, devoted its front page to the demand, using the headline: “Blood for blood.”

The newspaper added that revenge was both “the right of the people and the duty of officials.”

Another hardline publication, Nobonyad (Nascent) carried a similar message, asking: “Why shouldn’t we kill the one who killed our leader?”
