An Iranian state-run TV channel broadcasts a hit list of seven Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, appearing to threaten their assassination.
The list aired by the Islamic Republic’s Ofogh network includes Netanyahu, Mossad director David Barnea, Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF chief Eyal Zamir, Air Force chief Tomer Bar, Military Intelligence Directorate head Shlomi Binder and Operations Directorate head Itzik Cohen.
The segment’s presenter also made a Hebrew-language threat on air, saying: “We will determine the time of your death, wait for the Ababil,” referring to the Iranian-made drone.
Tehran is currently in negotiations with Washington regarding its nuclear program to avert a potential conflict between the two powers. American and Iranian diplomats held indirect talks last week in Oman.
Earlier today, Netanyahu returned to Israel after a visit to Washington in which he met with US President Donald Trump. In a statement to reporters after landing, he said Trump believes the Iranians could be forced to accept “a good deal,” but stressed his own skepticism about the talks.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
