Iran Says the Deadly Israeli Strike in Damascus Will Not Go Unanswered
As war escalates, many worry for our troops.
“Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, said Israel would be punished for the strike, which killed three top commanders.
The strike, on part of the Iranian Embassy complex in Damascus, killed three generals in Iran’s Quds Force and four other officers, making it one of the deadliest attacks of the yearslong shadow war between Israel and Iran.
In a statement, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, vowed that Israel would be “punished by the hands of our brave men.”
President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran said the attack was an “inhumane assault in brazen violation of international law,” in comments reported by Tasnim, a semiofficial news agency. He added that it would not go unanswered, but gave no details of how Iran might respond.“
