Iran's embassy attacked by Israel; president plans to take retaliatory measures
On the 1st, the consular building of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, the capital of Syria, was destroyed by a missile attack believed to be carried out by Israel, and seven people, including the commander of the elite military Revolutionary Guards, were killed, according to Iranian state media. Six other Syrian civilians were also reportedly killed.
The Tasnim News Agency, a media outlet connected to the Revolutionary Guards, reported that the slain commander, Brigadier General Zahedi, belonged to the Quds Force, a unit of the Revolutionary Guards that mainly carries out special missions overseas, and was active in Syria and Lebanon. In addition to reporting that he was engaged in operations, the report also cited Israeli media and reported that the Israeli government had long been a target for assassination.
