Iranian officials and state-affiliated media have reported that a top commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Mohammed Reza Zahedi, was killed in an airstrike on the country’s consulate building in Damascus, Syria. The incident, which occurred on Monday, has been attributed to Israel by Iranian sources.
The attack, allegedly carried out by Israeli F-35 warplanes, targeted the building with six missiles, resulting in the death of Zahedi and several others. Iranian ambassador Hossein Akbari, who was present at the embassy during the attack, confirmed the casualties and the destruction caused by the airstrike.
