Iran blamed Israel for the strike, saying it “reserves the right to respond”. Foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said Tehran would respond “at the appropriate time and place”.
The attack targeted a three-story residential building in the city’s Mezza neighborhood that houses several diplomatic missions.
“Once again, the barbaric and criminal Zionist regime launched an aggression against the city of Damascus, the capital of Syria, and several Syrian forces and four military advisers of the Islamic Republic of Iran were martyred during the usurping regime’s air strike”, the IRGC said in an official statement after the attack.
