 Iran has pledged retaliation for Israel's deadly attack on its diplomatic mission in Syria's Damascus city. A senior Iranian official, Yehia Rahim Safavi, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader has said that none of Israel's embassies were safe anymore. Iran's Tasneem news agency reported on Sunday that Yehia Rahim Safavi made the remarks following a suspected Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1 that killed at least seven officials including Mohammad Reza Zahidi, a top commander in Iran's elite revolutionary guards, IRGC, and senior commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi. Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces in a speech on Saturday threatened the harshest possible response to Israel in retaliation for the attack on its diplomatic mission in Syria. �We have learned from Qasem Soleimani that we determine the time and type of operation,� he said, adding that Israel will regret attacking Iranian diplomatic building. In response to these threats, Israel's defense minister Yov Galan said on Sunday that his country was ready to handle any scenario that may arise with Iran. Meanwhile, Jada Iran reported on Sunday, citing an anonymous diplomatic source that Iran has informed the US it would refrain from responding to the Israeli attack if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached. The source added that if America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that. Iran's supreme leader Kamine had earlier pledged retaliation after the attack in Damascus, voiling that Israel would be punished by the hands of our courageous men.
