Revolutionary Guards Warn Against Alleged Plots To Kidnap Iran’s Supreme Leader

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, of Iran, has issued a strong warning, declaring that any attempt to kidnap the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would trigger a retaliatory move targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

IRGC's warning is coming against the backdrop of 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 situation in the Middle East.

It is believed that threats involving high-profile political figures significantly raise diplomatic stakes and 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.

However, there has been no formal response from Israeli officials regarding the IRGC’s reported statement, thus adding another layer of uncertainty to a region already navigating complex alliances, covert maneuvering claims, and escalating political confrontation. *Source: ABC News Nigeria,
