Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a blunt threat to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after widespread rumours about an assassination circulated and Israel denied the reports. In a statement cited by multiple outlets, the Guards said they would “pursue and kill” Netanyahu and described him as a “criminal and child-killer,” vowing to continue their campaign unless held back by broader developments. Israel has publicly rejected the death rumours and maintained that Netanyahu is alive.
The threat followed a period of intense tension between Tehran and Jerusalem, during which unverified reports of an attack on or assassination attempt against Netanyahu briefly spread online and through news cycles. Israeli officials moved quickly to deny the claims, prompting the IRGC’s statement condemning Netanyahu’s policies and promising further action. The exact timing and source of the rumours remain unclear in the initial reports.
The exchange comes amid broader regional unrest and international concern. Reports carried by several outlets also said Iran carried out strikes targeting a U.S. airbase in Saudi Arabia, while the United States ordered staff out of Oman as a precaution. Former U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Iran was putting an “oil hub” at risk, underscoring fears that escalating hostilities could threaten energy infrastructure and commercial shipping in the region.
Analysts and officials have warned that such direct threats to a sitting head of government heighten the risk of miscalculation. The IRGC’s public vow to pursue Netanyahu represents one of the most explicit and personal threats issued by Tehran-aligned forces in recent weeks and could complicate diplomatic and military calculations by regional and Western powers monitoring the Iran–Israel confrontations.
Independent verification of some claims-especially the alleged strike on the U.S. facility and the details behind the assassination rumours-remains limited in the early reporting. For now, the situation underscores the fragile state of regional security: statements and counterstatements from Iran and Israel, coupled with U.S. precautionary moves, signal a volatile environment where misinformation and rapid escalation can have immediate strategic consequences.
