Iranian Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei vowed that the Israeli regime would regret attacking Iran's consulate building in Damascus.
Tehran -ISNA- "We will make them regret committing this crime," the Iranian Leader stressed in a message on Tuesday.
His eminence prayed to God to bestow divine forgiveness and blessings to the IRGC military advisors who were martyred in the Israeli strike.
"The evil regime of Israel will be punished by the hands of our brave men," Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
He lauded General Zahedi, saying he "had been awaiting martyrdom since the 1360s AH [1980s] when fighting in dangerous battlefields."
"The martyrs haven't lost anything and have received their reward," the Leader said, noting that "the grief of losing them weighs heavily on the Iranian nation, especially those who knew them."
For his part, President Ebrahim Raisi pledged that Monday's fatal strike would not go unanswered.
In a statement released on Tuesday morning, Raisi said the usurping Zionist regime has brazenly violated international law by committing the terrorist crime of attacking the diplomatic building of Iran in Damascus.
Israeli warplanes bombed the Iranian consulate, situated next to the embassy building in Damascus's Mezzeh district, on Monday afternoon.
