Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Iran had attempted to kill one of his sons, according to Al-Monitor. He provided no timeline for when the alleged plot took place, declined to identify which of his sons was targeted, or offer any account of how far the purported conspiracy had progressed before being disrupted.
Netanyahu has long characterized Iran as posing an existential threat to Israel and its leadership. The prime minister's assertion came amid longstanding tensions between Israel and Iran, though he offered no corroborating evidence or official documentation to support the claim. Israeli officials have previously accused Tehran of orchestrating attacks and covert operations against Israeli interests across the region.
