Iran Threatens to Eliminate Netanyahu Amid Escalating Tensions
Rumors about the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been circulating, following reports that he did not attend the "War Council" meeting on March 14, 2026. These speculations came after Iranian military officials issued a direct threat against Netanyahu’s life, vowing to target and eliminate the Israeli leader. On March 15, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement via its Sepah News platform, saying, “If this criminal is still alive, we will continue to pursue and eliminate him with all our might.” This statement, as part of the ongoing conflict between Israel, the United States, and Iran, highlights the increasingly personal and dangerous nature of the hostilities. At the same time, Saudi Arabian officials reported that they had intercepted 10 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the regions surrounding Riyadh and the eastern part of the kingdom. Shortly after the attack, the IRGC denied any involvement, emphasizing that Saudi Arabia should investigate the origins of the assault, which they claimed was not linked to Iran. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that Israel’s air defense systems intercepted two rounds of missiles aimed at the southern region of the country. According to Israel’s Home Front Command, these missile strikes did not result in any casualties. Rumors about Netanyahu’s assassination intensified after reports that he had missed the critical "War Council" meeting, which was held amidst the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. These rumors were further fueled by unverified social media posts claiming that Iran had attacked Netanyahu’s residence, killing his brother and injuring Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. These reports were picked up by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, citing statements from former U.S. intelligence officers and UN weapons inspectors, including Scott Ritter. In addition, AI-generated videos contributed to the spread of these rumors, with some users claiming Netanyahu appeared in a recent video with six fingers, an anomaly they attributed to AI manipulation. While this sparked further speculation, Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office responded by dismissing the rumors as “fake news,” affirming that Netanyahu was in good health. As tensions continue to rise, Iran has carried out missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and other countries in the region, including Jordan, Iraq, and several Gulf states, accusing them of hosting “U.S. military assets.” In response, Israeli strategists are adjusting their military objectives, now focusing on weakening Iran’s military capabilities. It could take Israel’s military up to two weeks to achieve its primary goals in the region. Furthermore, reports from The Jerusalem Post indicate that both Israel and the U.S. are intensifying military efforts, including attacks on control stations and Basij militia forces in Iran. The goal is to destabilize the Iranian regime by encouraging public protests. However, opposition forces in Iran have struggled to organize large-scale demonstrations, largely due to fears of severe repression by security forces and the potential impact of ongoing airstrikes from the U.S. and Israel. At the same time, some Israeli and U.S. officials have noted that the anticipated cracks in Iran’s leadership have yet to materialize as hoped, leaving the situation highly unpredictable.
