Bloomberg: The shadow war between Israel and Iran has entered a new phase. Israeli air strike targeted buildings belonging to the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, killing a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Israel considers Iran's ability to manufacture nuclear weapons a threat to its existence, which is why it is believed to be behind a sabotage campaign against Tehran's nuclear program. Israel has hinted more than once that Tel Aviv will use air power to strike Iran’s nuclear program if Tehran is on the verge of producing nuclear weapons.
