Israel “Risking a Two-Front War, Maybe a Three-Front War,” After Latest Strike Against Iran in Syria

DemocracyNow! - 116 days ago - Iran has vowed to retaliate after Israel bombed the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria, killing at least seven people, including three senior Iranian commanders and at least four other Iranian officers. Among the dead is senior commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the highest-ranking Iranian military officer to be killed since the U.S. assassinated General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad in 2020.
