Iran warns America: Do not be drawn into Netanyahu’s trap. Iran renewed its pledge to respond to Israel, coinciding with the funeral of the seven soldiers who were killed in the air strike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus last Monday.
Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Guard, Major General Hossein Salami, said in a speech during the ceremony that Iran will respond to the Israeli attack. Israeli media reports have reported that Israel is in the process of closing its embassies around the world for fear of an Iranian response.
