'If Netanyahu Is Alive, We Will Hunt Him Down': Iran’s IRGC Issues Threat, Israeli PM Releases Video

Tehran/Tel Aviv: Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has openly threatened that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is alive, we will find and kill him. Iranian government media issued this statement. The IRGC even called the Israeli prime minister a "child killer." The threat came as rumors of Netanyahu's death were spreading like wildfire on social media.

Is Netanyahu really dead?

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office clearly said that Netanyahu is completely safe and the news of his death is a white lie. But the speed of rumor on social media was so fast that despite the government's denial, the discussion did not stop. The media around the world had to give clarification. At the time this statement came, rumors of Netanyahu's death were at their peak. Some experts believe that the IRGC deliberately took advantage of this confusion. One side did not confirm, the other side issued a new threat. Due to this, there was pressure from both sides simultaneously.

Did Netanyahu respond by releasing the video?

Amid the rumors, Netanyahu shared a video of himself on the social media platform 'X' on Sunday evening. In the video, he is seen drinking coffee and showing the fingers of both his hands in front of the camera. It is believed that he did this so that the speculations going on on social media could be put to an end.

In fact, in a video viral on social media, it was claimed that six fingers were visible on Netanyahu's hand, due to which some people called it a video made by AI. However, experts say that such an illusion can arise due to the angle of the camera and 'motion blur'.

What did the IRGC say in the statement?

According to Iranian media, the IRGC said that the position of the Israeli leadership seems to be becoming unstable. The organization alleged that a large number of students and staff were killed in an attack on a girls' school in Iran's southern city of Minab. There was a lot of anger in Iran after this incident.

Is this a rumor spread through social media?

Experts believe that misinformation spreads very rapidly in times of war and geopolitical tension. Many times claims are shared on social media without verification, which creates confusion.

Where is Netanyahu now?

Recent videos and public statements indicate that Netanyahu is actively involved in decisions related to government and military strategy. According to reports, he is also participating in meetings on military operations of America and Israel and addressing the country.
