Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Threaten to “Hunt Down” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Threaten to “Hunt Down” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu

Tensions in the Middle East escalated dramatically after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a direct threat against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a fiery statement, Iranian officials warned they would “pursue and eliminate” the Israeli leader, intensifying fears of a wider regional conflict.

The threat comes amid an already volatile confrontation between Iran and Israel, with both sides exchanging harsh rhetoric and military pressure. Iranian authorities accused Netanyahu of orchestrating attacks against Iranian interests and vowed that he would eventually face “justice for his actions.”

Officials from the IRGC declared that if Netanyahu is still alive, Iran would use “all available power” to track him down. The statement circulated widely across regional media, fueling speculation about possible covert operations or escalating military retaliation.

The remarks also surfaced shortly after rumors spread online claiming Netanyahu had been killed. Israeli authorities quickly dismissed those claims as false, insisting that the prime minister remains active and continues to direct Israel’s response to growing regional threats.

Iran’s leadership has increasingly portrayed Netanyahu as the central figure behind what it describes as a campaign against Tehran. Iranian commanders accuse Israel of carrying out covert strikes and intelligence operations designed to weaken Iran’s military and strategic infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that Iran’s missile programs and regional alliances pose a direct threat to Israeli security. Netanyahu himself has previously vowed that Israel would take whatever action is necessary to stop Iran from expanding its military reach.

Security analysts say the Iranian threat reflects the deepening hostility between the two nations, which have long fought through proxies across the Middle East. However, recent developments suggest the confrontation may be moving closer to direct confrontation.

The escalating rhetoric from both sides has raised concerns among global powers that the situation could spiral into a broader regional war. Diplomatic channels remain strained as tensions continue to rise, with little indication that either side is willing to step back.

For now, the IRGC’s declaration serves as another stark reminder of the high-stakes rivalry between Iran and Israel—one that continues to shape the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and keeps the world watching closely.

Iran claims to have blown up a U.S. ammo depot in the UAE
Iran Claims Strike on U.S. Ammo Depot in UAE; Israel Launches Attacks on Tehran (NLDO) — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it struck a U.S. ammunition depot at Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates as part of its “True Promise 4” operation. Iran expands attacks across the Gulf According to Tasnim, powerful explosions rocked the base on March 16, prompting U.S. forces to evacuate personnel and relocate fighter jets to other facilities. In an earlier statement, the IRGC claimed its retaliatory strikes had destroyed more than 80% of U.S. strategic radar systems and key infrastructure at American military bases in the region.

State news agency WAM reported that drones triggered explosions and fires at an oil storage facility in Fujairah, a major energy hub in the UAE. A tanker anchored off the country’s eastern coast was also struck in an air attack the same day, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The vessel, located in the Gulf of Oman, sustained minor structural damage, with no reported injuries. Also on March 17, two security officials said four drones targeted the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, early in the morning but were intercepted by the U.S. C-RAM air defense system. However, debris from the intercept reportedly struck the embassy compound. Another airstrike appeared to hit a house inside the heavily fortified presidential complex in Baghdad’s al-Jadriya district. Other Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar and Kuwait, were also targeted by Iranian strikes on March 16 and 17.

According to Al Jazeera, Israeli airstrikes hit several towns in southern Lebanon. Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli aircraft targeted Taybe, Majadel, and Zibqin before expanding strikes to Yater and Kafra. Beyond drones, Iran has continued deploying advanced missile systems. In a statement on March 15, the IRGC said it used the Sejjil-2 missile for the first time in strikes against Israel — a weapon Tehran described as a “nightmare” even for the United States.
