The funeral procession for victims of an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, earlier this week has begun in Tehran. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least seven Iranian officials, including Mohammed Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, both high-ranking commanders in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
Additionally, at least six Syrian citizens lost their lives in the attack, as reported by Iranian state television on Tuesday. Both Iran and Syria have accused Israel of orchestrating the airstrike, prompting Tehran to issue a warning of a “serious response” to the incident.
