Iran vows revenge on Israel after Damascus embassy attack

Iran said on Tuesday it would take revenge on Israel for an airstrike that killed two of its generals and five military advisers at its embassy compound in Damascus, raising the risk of further escalation in conflict in the Middle East.

"May the Almighty God grant the fighters of God's path [Iran's military forces] the opportunity to punish the Zionist regime for this crime and many other crimes committed by the Zionist regime," Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi said.

The unprecedented attack at the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus underlined the risk of further escalation in a conflict that has rippled across the Middle East since Oct. 7, 2023.

Other global authorities commented on the attack, with the U.S. denying involvement, and the United Nations and China condemning it.
