Iran Vows to Retaliate After Israeli Attack on Consulate in Damascus

Tehran has warned Tel Aviv of a response following the strike in Syria on Monday in which at least seven died.

Israel's attack on Iran's General Consulate in Damascus will not go unanswered, President of the Islamic Republic Ebrahim Raisi has said.

"The Zionist regime [Israel] must bear in mind that it won’t be able to achieve its sinister objectives with such inhumane measures and will have to face the growing strength of the resistance front and also the free nations’ hatred and aversion to its illegitimate nature. This unfair crime won’t go unanswered," he stated, as cited by Tasnim news agency.
