An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that no Israeli embassy is safe anymore after an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Syria, killed at least 16 people, including a senior commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
On Sunday (April 7), The Guardian reported this information in a report citing Tasnim, Iran's semi-official news agency.
“The embassies of the Zionist regime are no longer safe,” Isna quoted Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as saying.
This senior adviser said, it is a legal and legitimate right to confront this brutal ruler. He said, many Israeli embassies in the Middle East have already been closed.
However, Israel has not commented on Iran's threat so far.
Regarding last Monday's attack, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitoring organization, said that 16 people were killed in the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate building in Syria. It was Israel's fifth strike in Syria in less than a week. The elite Quds Force senior commander Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and his deputy Brigadier General Mohammad Hadi Haji-Rahimi were among those killed in the attack.
In recent years, Israeli forces have acknowledged hundreds of attacks on various targets in Syria, which they claim have been providing arms, money and training to Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Israeli attacks have intensified since the war in Gaza began in October last year. At the same time, Hezbollah and other groups in Lebanon and Syria also carried out cross-border attacks with Israel.
Iran does not recognize Israel and the two countries have waged a shadow war for years. Iran accuses Israel of carrying out sabotage attacks and assassinations targeting its nuclear program.
