Iran's Revolutionary Guard General Hossein Salami has promised retaliation for the recent airstrike that destroyed Iran’s Consulate in the Syrian capital, killing seven guard members. The attack, widely attributed to Israel, has sparked outrage in Iran, with thousands marching in Tehran chanting anti-Israel and anti-America slogans during the funeral procession of the slain officers.
General Salami, addressing the mourners, stated that no threat against Iran would go unanswered. He also expressed confidence in the eventual collapse of Israel, attributing its survival to U.S. support. The funeral coincided with Iran's annual Quds Day rally, a demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians that has been observed since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
