Iran’s IRGC threatens to “pursue and kill” Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring that it will 'pursue and kill' him amid the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, reports AFP.

In an official statement, the IRGC referred to Netanyahu as a 'child-killing criminal' and emphasised that if he remains alive, their forces will continue efforts to eliminate him 'with full force.'

The threat comes amid growing speculation on social media about Netanyahu’s current whereabouts.

Several posts have circulated online questioning his recent public appearances. One particular video from his March 12 press conference drew attention for seemingly showing six fingers on one hand, leading to theories that the footage may have been altered using artificial intelligence tools.

These online discussions have added to the uncertainty surrounding Netanyahu’s movements as the conflict intensifies.

At his first press briefing since the US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran began on February 28, Netanyahu addressed the military campaign while issuing a subtle warning toward Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Analysts say his remarks signal Israel’s intent to maintain pressure on Iran while sending a message of deterrence to Tehran’s leadership.

Experts warn that such direct threats to political leaders can further heighten regional instability and complicate efforts to de-escalate the conflict.
