Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a fresh warning against Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring that the Israeli prime minister remains a target as tensions escalate between Iran, Israel and the United States.

In a statement published on its official platform, Sepah News, the Guards vowed to track down Netanyahu, accusing him of responsibility for civilian deaths amid the ongoing conflict.

“If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force,” the statement said, signalling a hardening stance by Tehran’s elite military force.

Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have intensified internal security operations, carrying out raids across parts of the country over alleged espionage activities linked to Israel.

Local media reports said at least 20 suspects were arrested in West Azerbaijan Province in northwestern Iran after they were accused of transmitting sensitive information about military and security locations to Israeli agents.

The arrests were confirmed by provincial prosecutor Hossein Majidi, who said the suspects were detained during coordinated operations targeting networks believed to be cooperating with Israeli intelligence.

The development comes as the conflict, which erupted after joint strikes by the United States and Israel that reportedly killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, continues to heighten tensions across the Middle East.
