Iran’s elite military force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has vowed to target Benjamin Netanyahu as hostilities continue between Iran, Israel and the United States.
In a statement published Sunday on its official website, Sepah News, the Guards issued a direct warning against the Israeli prime minister amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.
“If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have intensified security operations across the country, arresting dozens of individuals suspected of cooperating with Israel.
Local media reported that at least 20 people were detained in Iran’s West Azerbaijan province during raids targeting alleged espionage networks.
According to the Fars News Agency, the suspects were accused of sending sensitive information about military, law enforcement and security locations to Israel.
The arrests were carried out following operations led by the province’s prosecutor, Hossein Majidi.
Authorities said the suspects were linked to what they described as networks working with the “Zionist enemy”.
Reports indicate that Iranian security forces have conducted sweeping raids in recent days, arresting hundreds of people across the country over alleged collaboration with Israel and the United States.
The crackdown comes more than two weeks after the start of the latest conflict in the Middle East..
The current confrontation began on February 28 after joint strikes by the United States and Israel killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
The killing triggered retaliatory attacks by Iran and escalated tensions across the region, raising fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
Since the outbreak of the war, military exchanges and threats between the sides have intensified, with both Iran and Israel accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
