Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (local time) claimed that Iran's Islamic regime had pinpointed US President Donald Trump as a threat to its nuclear program and actively worked to assassinate him.

After striking back on Friday night, Iran launched a new wave of strikes toward Israel on Saturday morning. Now, the two countries continue to exchange deadly missiles and threats, with fatalities and injuries reported on both sides.

The intelligence chief for Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has reportedly been killed by Israel amid growing conflict between the two countries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Sunday afternoon that Israel targeted IRGC intelligence chief Mohammad Kazemi in a strike.

Trump distanced himself from direct involvement in Israel’s strikes. But Benjamin Netanyahu will need the U.S. president to finish the job.

Iran’s capital city “will burn” if the Islamic republic continues to rain missiles down on the Jewish State, Israel warned Saturday, as the IDF proclaimed it had decimated the country’s air defenses overnight.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) executed a preemptive strike on Iranian surface-to-air missile troops near Tehran, eliminating them just before they could activate a launcher.

Donald Trump declared that, “for the first time in a thousand years, the world will look at this region not as a place of turmoil and strife, and war and death, but as a land of opportunity and hope.”
