EghtesadOnline: Commenting on the Zionist regime's terrorist attack on Iran's consulate in Syria yesterday, Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said on his X social account that the Zionist regime, as the proxy army of the United States in the region, made a huge mistake by doing such an assault and has to pay a price for it.

He said that the claim that Washington was not aware of Israel's intention to carry out such an action does not affect the US direct responsibility for such a criminal act and its implications.

The Israeli regime attacked Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Monday evening. The Israeli aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of the entire people inside it.

Seven of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors were martyred in the terrorist attack.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan'ani said on Monday night that the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to take countermeasures and will decide on the type of reaction and punishment of the aggressor on its own.

Earlier on Monday, Iran's Ambassador to Syria stressed that the country will give a decisive response to the Israeli regime. / Mehr
