Funeral of commanders of Iran's elite military forces, calls for retaliation against Israel. On the 1st of this month, an attack believed to be carried out by Israel on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, the capital of Syria, killed seven people.

The funeral of the commanders was held in the Iranian capital Tehran on the 5th, as this day is the last Friday of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. There are concerns that the situation in the Middle East will become even more tense depending on Iran's response to this situation.
