TEHRAN,April 6\/IRNA\/ -Iran\u2019s Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri, has warned that retaliation for the recent attack on its consulate in Damascus, Syria, attributed to Israel, is inevitable and will be executed \u201cat the right time and with maximum damage.\u201d The incident, which has not been claimed by Israel, resulted in the death of seven Pasdaran officers, including General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, commander of the Qods Force in Syria and Lebanon.<\/p>\n
Bagheri, quoted by the \u201cIrna\u201d news agency, stated that Iran will determine the timing, method, and plan of the operation against Israel. He attributed every action taken by Israel to its desperation and inability, adding that despite Israel\u2019s attempts to control the Islamic world, its decline has begun due to the efforts of the Qods Force and their allies.<\/p>\n
These statements follow a speech by Hassan Nasrallah, the general secretary of the pro-Iranian Lebanese Shiite party Hezbollah, during the International Day of Jerusalem celebrations. Nasrallah highlighted the significance of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas\u2019s operation against Israel on October 7, 2023, calling it a \u201cturning point\u201d for the region. He criticized Israel\u2019s failure to defeat the Islamic Resistance and Hamas or to secure the return of hostages.<\/p>\n
Nasrallah further emphasized that Iran\u2019s response to the consulate attack is inevitable and urged preparedness for any scenario. He expressed hope that the incident in Damascus would lead to a decisive victory and noted that Israel has started taking measures in fear of Iran\u2019s response. The timing, location, and extent of this response, he added, depend on Tehran\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
