TEHRAN – Following Iran’s legitimate defense in response to Israel’s unlawful attack on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April one, the occupation regime’s cabinet held a meeting in a hiding place in the war ministry.

The cabinet convened after Iran launched drones and cruise missiles against targets inside Israel.

In the Israeli strike on the consular section of the embassy on April 1, seven Iranian military advisors were assassinated.

According to the Vienna Conventions, attack on diplomatic and consular premises is a violation of international law.
