The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has vowed to “pursue and kill” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a “child-killing criminal”.
In a statement, the IRGC’s public relations department said, “The unknown fate of the Zionist criminal prime minister and the possibility of his death or his escape, along with his family, from the occupied territories reveal a crisis and the faltering situation of the Zionists.”

The IRGC declared, “If the child killer is still alive, we will strongly keep chasing and killing him.”

The remarks came after Netanyahu issued an indirect threat to Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. Mujtaba is the son of former Iranian Supreme Leader, late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the US-Israeli strikes on February 28.
“I wouldn’t issue life insurance policies on any of the leaders of the terrorist organization,” Netanyahu said when asked if Israel would target the new Iranian leader.
He further added, “I don’t intend to provide an exact report here about what we are planning or what we are going to do.”
Earlier today, Israel’s Foreign Ministry shared a video showing a stark message aimed at Iran’s new leadership: “Khamenei 2.0: New generation, same terror regime, still evil.”
The message, displayed on a massive LED screen in Times Square in New York, was highlighted in a social media post by the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which said the display was intended to underline that Iran’s leadership transition does not signal a change in the regime’s nature.
“In Times Square, the message is clear: The face may slightly change, the Iranian terror regime does not,” the ministry wrote in its post accompanying the video.
