In a statement following the funeral of Major General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri declared that Iran would define the time and manner of its response to Israel.
Tehran -ISNA- Bagheri emphasized that the Israeli attack would not go unanswered and that Iran would carry out a retaliatory operation with precision, causing the Zionist regime to regret their actions.
He described the aggression on Iran's embassy as a "suicide committed by Israel" and stated that the martyrdom of Iranian military advisers would hasten the destruction of Israel.
The general also placed blame on the US for the Damascus attack, warning that Washington must be held accountable.
These statements were in line with a message from Leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayed Ali Khamenei, who promised that Iran would make the Zionist regime regret their crime.
