IRAN VOWS A HARSH RETALIATION IN THEIR OWN TIME AFTER MASSIVE ISRAELI STRIKE ON THEIR TEHRAN CONSULATE IN SYRIA.
- There was no immediate word from Israel, which has stepped up strikes on Iran
- IRGC leader Mohammed Reza Zahedi was killed in the strike, sources have said.
Iran has promised to launch a 'harsh' retaliation against Israel after an airstrike destroyed the its consulate in Syria, reportedly killing a senior Iranian military adviser and roughly a handful of other people.
The strike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus killed as many as seven people, Iranian Ambassador Hossein Akbari said, before condemning Israel and vowing revenge for the strike 'at the same magnitude and harshness'.
The ambassador added that emergency services are still searching for any other bodies under the rubble, but confirmed that two police officers who guard the building were also wounded in the attack.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets in government-controlled parts of Syria in recent years.
Such airstrikes have escalated in recent months against the backdrop of Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and ongoing clashes between Israel's military and Hezbollah on the Lebanon-Israel border.
