Israel to regret attacking Iran’s consulate building: Leader

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has issued a message after the Israeli regime’s attack on Iran’s consular building in Damascus on Monday.

We will make them regret committing this crime, the Leader stressed.

Ayatollah Khamenei also prayed to God to bestow divine forgiveness and blessings to the IRGC military advisors who were martyred in the Israeli strike.

The evil regime of Israel will be punished by the hands of our brave men, he concluded.

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 following the Israeli attack on Iran’s consulate in Damascus on Monday, IRGC said in a statement.

Reacting to the Israeli aggression, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan’ani on Monday night said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, while reserving its rights to take countermeasures, decides on the type of reaction and punishment of the aggressor.

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