Tensions between Iraq and Israel have escalated after Israel’s Channel 14 broadcasted an image listing prominent anti-Israel resistance leaders as assassination targets.

Among those featured was Iraq’s top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, marking the first time he has appeared on such a list. This move has sparked widespread anger in Iraq, with many viewing it as a dangerous provocation akin to a declaration of war.

Channel 14, a right-wing Israeli network closely aligned with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aired the image during its coverage of resistance leaders.

While the channel does not represent official Israeli policy, its broadcast is seen as a significant insult in Iraq, where Ayatollah al-Sistani is deeply revered.
