Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed on Sunday to "chase and kill" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating they would continue pursuing him with full force while the war with Israel and the United States continues into its sixteenth day. This threat follows Israeli and US airstrikes on Iran since February 28th, which resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Key points
- The IRGC made the threat on its website, Sepah News.
- The conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US is reported to be in its sixteenth day.
- Iran has been retaliating by striking Israel and regional countries with missiles and drones since Khamenei's death.
- Separately, Iranian authorities announced the arrest of 20 people in Urmia, West Azerbaijan province, for allegedly spying for Israel and providing information on military sites.
Why it matters
The IRGC's direct threat against the Israeli Prime Minister escalates tensions amid ongoing military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US, which has already seen the death of Iran's Supreme Leader.
