UN chief condemns Israeli strike on Iran’s Syria consulate

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Tuesday a strike on an Iranian consular annex building in Syria one day earlier, his spokesman said, after the attack carried out by the Zionist Israeli regime killed at least 13 people, including 7 IRGC military advisors in Syria.

“The Secretary-General reaffirms that the principle of the inviolability of diplomatic and consular premises and personnel must be respected in all cases in accordance with international law,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

Different countries around the world have also condemned and shown solidarity with Iran over the Monday terrorist attack against its diplomatic premises in Damascus as a violation of international law.
