Busting Heads in Tehran: Netanyahu's Claims
Secret Service Leaders Allegedly Caught by Netanyahu
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared victory in Israel's airstrikes on Iran, announcing the supposed death of the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' intelligence, Mohammed Kasemi. During a chat with Fox News, Netanyahu boasted, "We've just nabbed the intelligence honcho and his sidekick right in the heart of Tehran."

Overthrowing the Iranian Elite?
In a surprising conversation, Netanyahu gave his opinion on the potential fall of the Iranian regime. "Is that the endgame? Maybe. The Iranian regimenε is already faltering," explained Netanyahu. A significant percentage of Iranians, he said, are eager for change. "The call to revolt comes from the Iranian populace themselves," he emphasized.
Politics Netanyahu's Remarks on Military Strikes The Conflict will persist until victory Refusing to comment on the unconfirmed claim that US President Trump had rebuffed a plan to eliminate Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Netanyahu ducked the question. "There's always loads of nonsensical gossip flying around," he shrugged, declining to comment further. "Israel takes decisive action, and the world knows what it's doing."

Overall:
Over the span of June 2025, Operation Rising Lion - a series of Israeli airstrikes - was executed, with the primary objective being to hinder Iran's nuclear development and military capabilities.
Impact on Iranian Military Leadership:
Several key Iranian military figures were casualties of these airstrikes, including Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff[4][5]. However, there's no mention of the head of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence in the available reports.
Responses:
- Israeli Response:Israel's strikes aimed to disrupt Iran's aggressive nuclear program and military might, with the campaign described as lasting several weeks[3]. In a bold declaration, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged the operation would continue "as long as necessary."
- Iranian Response:Iran countered with missile and drone attacks against Israel, and, according to a statement by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed retaliation that would make Israel "helpless." Despite these threats, Israel's air defenses successfully intercepted many incoming missiles[2].

The European Union, aware of the escalating Middle East conflict between Israel and Iran, is committed to the development of a common foreign and security policy. This comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a series of airstrikes on Iran, boasted about the supposed elimination of key Iranian military figures, including the head of the Revolutionary Guard's intelligence, Mohammed Kasemi, and the Iranian regime's potential faltering (general-news, politics). Nevertheless, the conflict persists without clear resolution, with both nations employing war-and-conflicts measures, such as missile strikes, and refusing to comment on the possibility of ending hostilities (politics).
