“If any other country had done what Israel has done now—bombed another country’s consulate, killed two high-ranking foreign officials, two generals—Sullivan himself and the Biden administration would have been screaming at the top of their lungs, calling for war... And when Israel does this: “Oh... Well, Bibi is Bibi - that’s who he is,” he said.
Earlier, the Pentagon said that Israel did not notify the United States in advance about the attack in Damascus.
John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, said the United States was not involved in Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
On April 1, the Israeli Air Force attacked the embassy and residence of the Iranian ambassador in the Syrian capital.
Later, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced its readiness to respond to Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate.
