Tehran has sent an important message to Washington following the Israeli regime’s attack on Iran’s consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Monday, the top Iranian diplomat said.
“An important message was sent to the American government as a supporter of the Zionist regime. America must be held responsible,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian wrote on his account on X social media platform early on Tuesday.
Following the terrorist attack by the Israeli regime on the diplomatic building of the consulate of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus and the martyrdom of several of the Iranian military advisors, the charge d’affaires of the Swiss Embassy, as the protector of American interests in Iran, was summoned to the Iranian foreign ministry at 00:15 on Tuesday, according to Amir-Abdollahian.
During the summoning, the dimensions of the Israeli aggression were explained, and the American administration’s responsibility was underlined, he added.
Reacting to the Israeli aggression, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan’ani on Monday night said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, while reserving its rights to take countermeasures, decides on the type of reaction and punishment of the aggressor.
Earlier on Monday, Iran’s Ambassador to Syria stressed that the country will give a decisive response to the Israeli regime.
