Iranian hardline paper receives official warning over its calls to kill Trump

Iran's Press Supervisory Board has officially warned ultra-hardline Kayhan newspaper, managed by Khamenei's representative, for its weekend calls to assassinate Trump in retaliation for the 2020 killing of Soleimani, calling it an act against national interests.

"The board has issued an official warning to the editor-in-chief of a newspaper for violating the Article 6 of the Press Law, which explicitly prohibits the publication of content against the security, dignity, and interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran, whether domestically or abroad," a statement by the Board said without naming Kayhan.

The Press Supervisory Board "commended the responsible and astute conduct of the country’s media managers in safeguarding national interests, informing public opinion, and fulfilling their media mission, but emphasized the need to observe specific security considerations and national interests in confronting the global arrogance, as well as taking into account the enemy's cognitive and hybrid warfare against Iran."
