Attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus
Following reactions to the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria, in which seven members of the Revolutionary Guard were killed, the United Nations Security Council has convened a meeting to discuss the issue. Iran has promised to respond to this attack.
In the Monday attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, seven members of the Revolutionary Guard, including two high-ranking officials of the force, were killed.
Representatives of China, Russia, and Algeria condemned the attack on the Iranian consulate during the session.
The United States, France, and the United Kingdom refrained from condemning Israel but emphasized that diplomatic buildings should remain protected during war, and the Monday attack poses a risk of further destabilizing the Middle East.
The French representative emphasized the need to prevent the Gaza war from turning into a widespread regional conflict.
