ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday vowed to “pursue and kill” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a “child-killing criminal” as the US-Israeli war on Iran enters its third week.

“The unknown fate of the criminal Zionist Prime Minister and the possibility of his death or escape with his family from the occupied territories reveals the crisis and instability of the Zionists. If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with power,” the IRGC said, as cited by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.

Iranian authorities have repeatedly claimed that the US was dragged into the war by Israel.

“They're sending poor boys to fix what generals broke. Go die for Israel!” Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf said on Saturday.

The US and Israel launched an offensive against Iran in late February, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials.

Iran, in turn, has launched retaliatory strikes against Israel, US interests, and countries in the region, with the IRGC on Sunday saying it carried out the 52nd wave of attacks dubbed “Ya Zainab al-Kubra,” as the war enters its third week.

The attacks have targeted Israel and three US bases in the region, including in the Kurdistan Region.

“The gathering center of American forces at the three airbases of Harir [in] Erbil and the bases ‘Ali al-Salem’ and ‘Arifjan’ were also destroyed by powerful Iranian missiles and drones,” the IRGC said.

On Thursday, the IRGC said a new wave of attacks targeting US bases in the region was carried out “jointly” with the “Islamic Resistance,” a coalition of pro-Iran militias in Iraq, according to the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency.
