MEHR: Referring to the Israeli attack on Iran's consulate building on Monday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said that the Zionists' crime will not go unanswered.
Issuing a statement on Tuesday morning, Raeisi strongly condemned the Israeli regime's fresh act of aggression.
Terming the Israeli missile attack on Iran's consulate as a terrorist crime and a gross violation of international regulations, Raeisi expressed condolences to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian nation, IRGC staff, and the families of the IRGC martyrs.
After repeated defeats and failures against the Resistance front, the Zionist regime is struggling to save itself by committing such crimes, but it should know that it will never achieve its sinister goals with such inhumane actions, Raeisi stressed.
The Israeli regime attacked Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Monday evening. The Israeli aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of the entire people inside it.
Seven of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors were martyred following the Israeli attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus on Monday, IRGC said in a statement.
Reacting to the Israeli aggression, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan'ani on Monday night said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, while reserving its rights to take countermeasures, decides on the type of reaction and punishment of the aggressor.
Earlier on Monday, Iran's Ambassador to Syria stressed that the country will give a decisive response to the Israeli regime.
