The president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisí, affirmed this Tuesday that the bombing against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, capital of Syria, in which seven members of the Revolutionary Guard died, “will not go unanswered”, an attack for which he directly blamed Israel.
“Once again, in a terrorist crime and in flagrant violation of international norms, the dirty hands of the usurping Zionist regime (Israel) were stained with the blood of several generals and officers of our country,” Raisí said in a statement. “This cowardly crime will not go unanswered,” said the president.
Raisí stressed that the Axis of Resistance is becoming stronger in the face of the “illegitimate nature” of the Jewish country.
The so-called Axis of Resistance is an informal alliance led by Tehran, deeply anti-Israel and made up of militant organizations such as Hezbollah, the Houthi rebels and the Islamist movement Hamas, considered terrorist by the European Union and the United States, among other groups.
Last night, the Iranian president chaired a meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council in which “timely decisions” were made about responses to the attack, of which no details have been given.
In turn, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Amir Abdolahian, sent a message to the United States through the Swiss ambassador in Tehran in which he held it responsible, as Israel’s main ally, for the attack on its diplomatic headquarters.
“In this call (with the Swiss ambassador) the dimensions of the terrorist attack and the crime of the Israeli regime were explained, and the responsibility of the American government was emphasized,” said the Iranian diplomat on the social network X.
