No Israeli embassy safe anymore, top Iranian general warns
TEHRAN - In a recent development, a top military advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has issued a grave warning, stating that no Israeli embassy is safe anymore.
Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi delivered these remarks at a solemn ceremony on Sunday, held to honor the martyrs of a heinous terrorist attack on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Syria.
Safavi emphasized the Leader's unwavering determination to retaliate against the Israeli regime for its brazen assault on Iran’s consulate in Syria. He noted, "The Leader promised a slap on the face of the Israeli regime such that the regime will regret attacking Iran’s consulate in Syria."
Furthermore, Safavi highlighted the preparedness of the Resistance Front to decisively act upon this solemn pledge.
A former chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Safavi provided profound insights into the transformative impact of the Gaza conflict on regional dynamics, events, and strategies, sparking fervent discussions among attendees and observers alike.
Additionally, Safavi shed light on a recent trend, revealing that 28 Israeli embassies have shuttered their doors out of fear for their security, serving as a testament to the escalating tensions and the growing unease within Israeli diplomatic circles.
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Safavi addressed the palpable fear gripping Israel in the aftermath of the consulate attack.
On Monday afternoon, Israeli warplanes launched a devastating airstrike on the consular annex of Iran's embassy in Damascus. This brazen act of aggression resulted in the loss of 13 lives, including seven members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps stationed on a mission in Syria. The strike has sent shockwaves throughout the region, further exacerbating tensions between the two adversaries.
In response to this egregious violation of international law and conventions, Iranian officials have vehemently reiterated the country's inherent right to deliver a resolute and proportional response.
