Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed that Iran had targeted one of his sons, while his son Yair was allegedly secretly sent from Miami to Israel. Yair was allegedly evacuated after claims emerged that Iran had prepared an assassination plot against him. The claim has not been independently verified.

Israeli intelligence allegedly learned of a plan targeting Yair in December 2025. Iranian agents were allegedly present in the area to monitor Yair’s residence in Miami and his movements.
Israel allegedly warned U.S. authorities about the development and instructed Yair to leave Miami immediately. Yair then allegedly returned to Israel without collecting his belongings.
In remarks to Israel-based Channel 14 on August 24, Netanyahu claimed that one of his sons had been targeted by Iran.
