‘If Still Alive…’: Iran Revolutionary Guards Vow To Pursue 'Child Killer' Netanyahu Amid War

Iranian forces launched heavy missiles at industrial areas in Tel Aviv, claiming the attacks caused casualties and triggered ambulance sirens across the city.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has vowed to continue pursuing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that the latter would remain a target “if still alive" amid the escalating war in West Asia.

In a statement, the IRGC described Netanyahu as a “criminal Zionist Prime Minister" and said that the “pursuit and killing" of him would continue if he remained alive.

“If the criminal and child killer Netanyahu is still alive, we will continue to pursue him," it said.

The remarks came as part of the IRGC’s announcement of the 52nd wave of Operation True Promise 4, which it said targeted Israeli positions and US military bases in the region.

According to the statement, Iranian forces launched heavy missiles at industrial areas in Tel Aviv, claiming the attacks caused casualties and triggered ambulance sirens across the city.

The IRGC also said it targeted locations linked to US forces, including Al-Harir Air Base in Erbil as well as Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait using missiles and drones.

The Iranian force also claimed that Netanyahu’s fate was unclear, suggesting he may have been killed or fled with his family from Israel.

However, Netanyahu’s office dismissed viral social media claims suggesting the Israeli Prime Minister had been assassinated.

Responding to a query from Turkey-based Anadolu Agency about the circulating reports, the Prime Minister’s Office denied the claims outright. “These are fake news; the Prime Minister is fine," the office said.

The rumours circulated widely on social media after a video posted on Netanyahu’s account on X appeared to show an extra finger on his hand, prompting some users to claim the clip might be AI-generated or a deepfake.

Netanyahu last posted the video on March 13, in which he said Israel was “crushing Iran and Hezbollah" as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to intensify across the region.
