Netanyahu Warns IRGC Forces Suppressing Iranians: "You Are Also in Our Crosshairs"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a direct warning to IRGC forces cracking down on Iranian civilians in the streets, declaring they are now also military targets. Netanyahu offered a conditional guarantee, stating that any soldier who lays down their weapon will not be harmed. He warned that those who continue suppressing Iranians will bear full responsibility for what follows. The statement signals an expansion of Israeli targeting priorities to include IRGC members involved in domestic repression of Iranian civilians.
