TEHRAN: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other Iranian leaders vowed to retaliate against the Zionist regime for its “terrorist and criminal” attacks in Damascus that resulted in the death of five Iranian military advisors.
Raisi strongly condemned the assassination in a condolence letter, expressing condolences for the martyred advisors: Hojatollah Omidvar, Ali Aqazadeh, Hossein Mohammadi, Saeed Karimi, and Mohammad Amin Samadi.
Notably, pro-Iran armed groups have already attacked the US airbase in Iraq, causing fatalities among the American soldiers.
However, Iranian top leaders are talking about their own direct action against Israel to settle the killings of IRGC in Syrian airstrike.
Meanwhile, Raisi emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not let such actions go unanswered, pointing out the growing desperation and failure of the Zionist regime. He criticized the international community’s silence on these actions, labeling them as violations of human rights and international treaties.
The Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, affirmed that Iranian military advisors will continue their anti-terror mission despite Israel’s “cowardly” assassination operations.
He expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and labeled the Israeli regime as the main accomplice to terrorist currents and the enemy of regional security.
Iran’s judiciary chief, Mohseni Ejeie, extended condolences and accused the “usurping and desperate Zionists” of attacking Syria to divert attention from their actions in Gaza.
He highlighted the ongoing crimes and oppression in Gaza, asserting that the Israeli regime’s defeat there cannot be compensated by such terrorist acts.
The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening condemned the “assassination” and called for resistance against the “child-killing regime.” They warned that the regime’s actions would not go unpunished.
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs vehemently condemned the Israeli airstrikes, characterizing them as repeated violations of Syria’s sovereignty. The spokesman called for a strong response from governments, regional and international organizations, including the United Nations Security Council, against the “criminal and child-killing Zionist regime.”
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that a severe punishment awaits the Israeli regime for assassinating the five Iranian military advisors.
