Iran warns Israeli embassies are unsafe after Syria strike; vows to avenge attack on Revolutionary Guards members.
An adviser to Iran's supreme leader warned on April 7 that Israeli embassies are "no longer safe" after a strike in Syria which Tehran blamed on Israel killed seven Revolutionary Guards members.
"The embassies of the Zionist regime are no longer safe," Yahya Rahim Safavi, senior adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.
Tehran has vowed to avenge Monday's air strike on Damascus that levelled the Iranian embassy's consular annex, killing seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members including two generals.
"The resistance front is ready; how it (the response) will be, we have to wait," Mr. Safavi said, noting that "confronting this brutal regime is a legal and legitimate right".
