The circulating claims attributed to former UN inspector Scott Ritter are entirely fabricated and represent a coordinated psychological warfare effort. There is absolutely no factual basis to the rumors that Iranian strikes have hit the private residences of prominent Israeli figures or caused casualties among their families.

The claim regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu losing a brother in a recent strike is a glaring historical fabrication; his most famous brother, Yonatan, died in action in 1976, and his other brother is safe and well. Likewise, rumors that National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was critically injured in a strike on his home have been completely denied by Israeli internal security services.

Intelligence analysts note that spreading such baseless propaganda is a desperate attempt by Tehran to project a “media victory” and boost the morale of its proxy militias.
These fabricated stories are designed to distract from the reality that their actual military and energy ᴀssets are being systematically dismantled by U.S. and Israeli forces.
