A military advisor to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned this Sunday that Israeli embassies could be in danger, after seven Iranian soldiers were killed in an attack attributed to Israel against an Iranian diplomatic building in Damascus.
“The embassies of the Zionist regime are no longer safe,” declared Yahya Rahim Safavi, general of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, quoted by the local ISNA agency.
Likewise, he stated that Israel has closed 27 embassies “out of fear” due to Iranian threats, including those in “Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain and Turkey”, information not confirmed by other sources.
Iran vowed to retaliate after Israeli airstrikes that destroyed the consular annex of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, the Syrian capital, on Monday.
The attack killed seven members of the Revolutionary Guard, the Islamic republic’s ideological army, including two high-ranking officers. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 16 people lost their lives in total.
