Mehr News Agency, Intergroup International: On Monday the 13th of April 1403, the F-35 fighters belonging to the Israeli Air Force entered the sky of the occupied Golan by six missiles guided by the consulate building and the residence of the Iranian ambassador in They targeted Damascus. Despite the intensification of field measures to find the bodies of the possible martyrs of this crime, the number of martyrs and 12 wounded has been announced so far. Among the martyrs of this incident, the name of Sardar Mohammad Zahedi, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria and Lebanon, his deputy Sardar Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, Sardar Hossein Amirullah, the head of the General Staff of the IRGC in Syria and Lebanon, and several Iranian advisors present in Syria can be seen. In the continuation of this analytical report, after a brief review of the history of targeted assassinations by the Zionist regime against Iranian commanders in Syria, we will examine the goals and consequences of this terrorist act and open aggression against Iranian soil.

Zionist terror squad against the resistance

After subduing the sedition of ISIS and Takfiri terrorists in Syria, the Zionist army, based on the “Thousand Daggers” strategy, attacked the accommodation of the resistance forces, warehouses, airports, forces and Iranian military advisors. put on his agenda. To operationalize this strategy, based on a long-term plan and step by step, Tel Aviv developed the range of attacks against interests and resistance forces. After the Al-Aqsa storm operation and the integrated and targeted attacks of the resistance axis against the Zionist regime, the activity of the Israeli terror squad in Syria and Lebanon increased significantly.

For example, on January 4, 1402, martyr Seyyed Razi Mousavi, diplomat and second counselor of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, among the advisors with experience of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and key figures in the logistics department of the resistance front in Syria and Lebanon were targeted by the Israeli army. According to Hossein Akbari, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Syria, his house was targeted by three missiles of the Israeli army, and Shahid Razi rushed to meet Haq.

Another significant Zionist assassination in recent months was the targeting of General Haj Sadegh Omidzadeh, the deputy intelligence officer of the IRGC’s Quds Force and his successor Haj Muharram, in the Israeli army’s attack on Damascus. During this terrorist attack, Zionist fighters targeted a three-story building where Iranian security forces were residing. Before this, Israel’s terror machine had targeted high-ranking Iranian advisers such as martyrs Morteza Saeednejad, Ehsan Karbalaipour, Mohammad Ali Atai Shoorche, Panah Taghizadeh, and Hojat Elah Omidhar, but none of the above actions could stop Iran’s will to support the legitimate government of Damascus. and strengthen the axis of resistance.

What is the purpose of assassinating Quds Force commanders?

Only an hour after the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, various sources are enumerating multiple reasons regarding the scope and goals of this attack. Daniel Hagari, the spokesman of the Israeli army, appeared in front of television cameras hours after this terrorist act, without mentioning this terrorist incident, and announced the attack of the Iraqi resistance drone on the navy of this regime in the city of Eilat! Some analysts point to the approval of the UN Security Council resolution and the international community’s request to the Zionist regime to stop the genocide in the Gaza Strip, and the recent attack by the Zionists on Damascus is a type of Netanyahu’s attempt to make gains in front of Israel’s public opinion and to try to expand the war on the front. They evaluate North. While Israel’s national emergency cabinet, by launching a propaganda campaign, intends to show the attack on Rafah as a kind of end to Hamas’s political-military life, the visit of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political office of Hamas, and Ziad Nakhale, the secretary general of Islamic Jihad, to Tehran shows the continuity. The strong life of the resistance is despite Israel’s media games. The above-mentioned series of developments has caused a significant decrease in the popularity of Israeli voters for Netanyahu and his right-wing allies in the cabinet. In such a situation, the current Israeli cabinet is trying to test its chances of surviving in power and winning the upcoming Israeli elections by following all kinds of political-military adventures in different fronts.

Consequences of Israeli aggression against Iranian territory

Before the attack on Monday, April 13th, 1403, the army and intelligence agencies affiliated with the Zionist regime always targeted non-political bases and centers affiliated with the Quds Force, members of the resistance axis, or the Syrian government. However, it seems that the Israeli authorities decided to change the level and field of battle with Tehran by attacking the diplomatic centers affiliated to the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to the Vienna Convention, an attack on diplomatic centers of countries is considered as an attack on the territory of that political unit. This issue is part of the definite and unexceptionable issues of international law to the extent that countries should respect the immunity of diplomatic places and not attack them during war. On this basis, Nasser Kanani, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country, in a statement called for the condemnation of this crime by the international community and the United Nations in the strongest tone. Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran has the right to respond to this military aggression in a completely legal and legitimate manner without any international prosecution, and Tel Aviv cannot accuse Tehran of violating international laws after Iran’s possible response.

In such a situation, the initial assessment of the analysts is that the Islamic Republic of Iran will also increase the level of response to Israel’s actions. In this equation, Tehran alone has the right and ability to respond to the Zionist aggression, and at the same time, it can respond to this crime with the coordination of its allies throughout the region at the appropriate time and place. According to the comments of the official officials of the Iranian government up to this moment, it seems that Tehran’s counter-response is certain, but the scope of this response is not clear at all.

Some Western media such as Fox News believe that the response to Israel’s attack will have very serious consequences throughout the region. In the new era, in addition to the possibility of targeting Israel’s diplomatic centers around the world and blacklisting Israel’s top commanders, Iran can include a long list of Israel’s sensitive centers such as ports, airports, commercial centers, and military barracks in its bank of targets. . Iran’s level-headed and deterrent response to the testimony of senior resistance commanders in Damascus can be the final seal on years of Israeli aggression and disregard for the territorial integrity of countries, international laws, and global security.

Result

In the history of the struggle between the axis of resistance and the Zionist regime, the attack of the Israeli Air Force on the diplomatic centers of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus will be remembered as a turning point. Israeli military-security commanders chose the option of a military attack on “Iranian soil” without paying attention to international laws and started a new chapter of the battle between Tehran and Tel Aviv. Although the decision-making authorities in Tehran have proven that they will carefully and patiently monitor the developments in the field and will not fall into the trap of provocations by the Zionists, but a harsh response to this Israeli arrogance does not seem far-fetched. Now we have to wait and see what time and place Iran and the axis of resistance will choose in the coming days to respond to the terrorist attack of the Zionist regime.
