Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi denounced the Israeli air strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, calling it an “inhuman attack” that grossly violates international law.
“After repeated failures … the Zionist regime has put blind assassinations on its agenda,” Raisi said in a statement quoted by Iran’s Tasnim news agency. “But it should know that it will never achieve its sinister goals with such inhumane measures.
“This cowardly crime will not go unanswered,” said Raisi.
The strike on Monday levelled the consular section of Iran’s embassy, killing a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s elite Quds force, his deputy, and five others.
