Netanyahu ALIVE or MISSING? IRGC Vows to ELIMINATE Israel PM

    Netanyahu ALIVE or MISSING? IRGC Vows to ELIMINATE Israel PM

    The tension in West Asia escalates as the IRGC declare a deadly hunt for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, branding him a "child-killing criminal" and vowing to "eliminate him if alive." Footage released by the IRGC shows precision drone strikes allegedly targeting US military bases across UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, intensifying fears of a broader conflict. As the war enters its sixteenth day, rumours about Netanyahu’s whereabouts have gone viral after he missed a key military briefing earlier this week, with viewers questioning a March 12 video that hinted at possible AI manipulation. Political commentators, including Candace Owens, have raised concerns over Netanyahu's sudden disappearance, fueling speculation and panic in global media circles.
