After Israel Flattened Their Embassy In Damascus, Iran Vows Revenge As Fears Of A Deadly Escalation Of Wider Middle East Conflict Rise
Iran has vowed to retaliate after it accused Israel of bombing its embassy complex in Syria on Monday, in a deadly escalation of regional tensions over the war in Gaza that once again appeared to raise the risk of a wider Middle Eastern conflict.
The chances of Iran directly attack Israel are zero at the moment, Iran does not possess the capability to do that. But through their proxies like Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Houthi rebels, they can do lots and lots of damage on many levels. Just think October 7th and you’ll see what I mean. These types of attacks can lead to things like what’s currently plaguing ‘prime minister for now’ Benjamin Netanyahu who seems to be on the verge of being deposed by Israelis fed up with how the Hamas War is being handled. That would be a huge victory for Iran.
“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:14 (KJB)
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Houdini of Israeli politics and its longest serving prime minister, has been written off many times before, says the New Indian Express. “Netanyahu has been buried politically many times before and bounced back,” said Emmanuel Navon, a former Likud member and political science professor. “But this time is different because of October 7. It is not the same country. It’s over for Bibi.” If they can get rid of Netanyahu, Iran will score the strongest possible victory they can get.
Iran vows revenge as it accuses Israel of deadly airstrike on Syria consulate in deepening Middle East crisis
FROM CNN: The airstrike destroyed the consulate building in the capital Damascus, killing at least seven officials including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), and senior commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, according to Iran’s Foreign Ministry. At least six Syrian citizens were also killed, Iranian state television reported on Tuesday.
Zahedi, a former commander of the IRGC’s ground forces, air force, and the deputy commander of its operations, is the most high-profile Iranian target killed since then-US President Donald Trump ordered the assassination of IRGC Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad in 2020.
Iran and Syria accused Israel of authoring the attack, with Tehran warning of a “serious response,” and the powerful Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah saying the strike will be met with “punishment and revenge.” Iran also said it would hold the United States “answerable” due to its support of Israel.
Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel would be punished for the attack, while President Ebrahim Raisi said it will “not go unanswered,” state news agency IRNA reported.
The Israeli military told CNN it does not comment on foreign reports. However, a military spokesperson said Israel believes the target struck was a “military building of Quds forces” — a unit of the IRGC responsible for foreign operations.
“According to our intelligence, this is no consulate and this is no embassy,” Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told CNN. “I repeat, this is no consulate and this is no embassy. This is a military building of Quds forces disguised as a civilian building in Damascus.” Four unnamed Israeli officials acknowledged that Israel carried out the attack, the New York Times reported.
