Iran blames Israel for deadly strike in Damascus, says it ‘reserves right to respond’
Iran blames Israel for a deadly strike in Damascus, saying it “reserves the right to respond” after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said four of its members were killed.
Foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani says Tehran would respond “at the appropriate time and place,” and condemned “an escalation in aggressive and provocative attacks” by Tehran’s arch-foe Israel.
