Iranian official warns Israel that its embassies are not safe after deadly Damascus strike
In the wake of a deadly airstrike in Damascus that killed several Iran-backed fighters, an Iranian official has issued a warning to Israel that its embassies are not safe. The strike, which was widely attributed to Israel, has escalated tensions between the two countries and raised concerns about the potential for further violence in the region.
The strike targeted a military facility in the Syrian capital, where Iranian-backed fighters were reportedly stationed. At least 10 individuals were killed in the attack, according to reports from Syrian state media. While Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the strike, it is widely believed to have been behind the operation.
In response to the attack, an Iranian official issued a warning to Israel that its embassies around the world are not safe. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, stated that Iran would not hesitate to retaliate against any aggression from Israel.
“We have the ability to strike back at Israel and its interests around the world,” the official said. “Israel should think twice before carrying out any further attacks on Iranian targets.”
The warning comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, which have long been bitter rivals in the Middle East. Iran has been a staunch supporter of the Syrian government in its civil war, while Israel has repeatedly targeted Iranian military positions in Syria in an effort to prevent the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group supported by Iran.
The recent strike in Damascus is just the latest incident in a long history of confrontations between the two countries. In recent years, Israel has conducted numerous airstrikes on Iranian targets in Syria, while Iran has vowed to retaliate against any further aggression.
The warning from the Iranian official serves as a reminder of the potential for further violence in the region. As the conflict between Iran and Israel continues to escalate, the risk of a wider regional war looms large. The international community has called for de-escalation and dialogue between the two countries to prevent further bloodshed, but it remains to be seen whether they will heed these calls or continue down the path of confrontation.
