The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly issued a strong warning, declaring that any attempt to kidnap Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would trigger a retaliatory move targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to statements attributed to the IRGC, the warning comes amid allegations of covert U.S.-Israeli operations in countries bordering northern Iran. The group claimed that if such operations resulted in the abduction of Iran’s top leader, it would respond by capturing Israel’s prime minister.
The remarks mark a sharp escalation in rhetoric between Iran and Israel, whose longstanding tensions have intensified in recent months amid broader regional instability.
While no official confirmation has emerged from Israeli or U.S. authorities regarding the alleged operations, security analysts say such statements underscore the fragile security climate in the Middle East.
Observers note that threats involving high-profile political figures significantly raise diplomatic stakes and could heighten global concerns about potential retaliation or miscalculation.
Regional experts caution that inflammatory rhetoric, even if strategic, can amplify tensions in already volatile areas bordering Iran.
As of press time, there has been no formal response from Israeli officials regarding the IRGC’s reported statement.
The development adds another layer of uncertainty to a region already navigating complex alliances, covert maneuvering claims, and escalating political confrontation.
