MONITORING (SW) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian left Oman to visit Syria’s capital Damascus a week after Iran’s consulate there was targeted in a suspected Israeli attack, state media reported on Monday.
Iran has vowed to avenge the death of seven of its Revolutionary Guards commanders who were killed in the attack, with a senior adviser to the Supreme Leader saying on Sunday that Israeli embassies were no longer safe.
Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria on Monday, April 1, in a strike that Iran said killed seven of its military advisers, including three senior commanders, marking a major escalation in Israel’s war with its regional adversaries.
Adollahian started a regional tour on Sunday in Muscat, where he met Omani officials and a representative of Yemen’s Houthis Mohamed Abdelsalam, who said the Iranian-backed militant group would continue to target Israel-bound ships until a ceasefire is reached in Gaza.
“The attack on Iran’s embassy building in Damascus is a new step in Israel’s warmongering and its attempt to expand war regionally,” Adollahian said while in Oman.
