Iran accuses the US of giving the ‘green light’ to Israel for the strike on Damascus consulate
IRAN’S foreign minister accused the United States on Monday of giving Israel the green light for a strike on its consulate building in Syria that killed seven Iranian military officials, including two generals.
Hossein Amirabdollahian repeated Tehran’s vow that it will respond to the Israeli attack, which appeared to signify an escalation of Israel’s targeting of military officials from Iran.
In an address on Monday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said his organisation supports a military response to the attack that killed General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior military official in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Force.
