Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani said Israel “made a strategic mistake with its attack on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus”. The strike “provided legitimacy for a serious test of the military and defence capability” of Iran, state-run media quoted him as saying.
