Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted that Iran attempted an assassination on one of his sons, without disclosing specifics regarding the location, timeframe, or targeted son. This claim was made during a phone interview with Channel 14, a conservative Israeli news outlet, amidst opinions polls indicating a potential loss for Netanyahu's coalition ahead of October's general election. The alleged plot follows the United States and Israel's joint strike on Tehran that led to the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, his daughter Boshra, and four other family members, including his 14-month-old granddaughter, Zahra. Netanyahu's statement comes amidst controversy surrounding the security detail for Gadi Eisenkot, a former army chief and a prime ministerial contender neck and neck with Netanyahu in upcoming elections. The Prime Minister voiced support for round-the-clock protection for Eisenkot, stating that without it, Iran could succeed in their alleged plot. Netanyahu's family members, including both sons and his wife, have previously received extended personal protection from Israeli authorities. His elder son, Yair, has spent extended periods in Miami since early 2024, raising questions about the cost of protecting him. In response to the killings of Khamenei and his family, Iran has vowed revenge, with Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader, pledging to "avenge the blood" of his father.
