Tehran Warns of Retribution for Revolutionary Guard Deaths
Tehran has announced that members of its Revolutionary Guard were killed on Monday in airstrikes near Damascus. According to SANA, Israel was responsible for the strikes. This is the first such a disclosure by Tehran in four years.
Col. Ehsan Karbalaipour and Col. Morteza Saidnejad were both killed in the alleged Israeli airstrike, Iranian state media outlets reported Tuesday.
Tehran would make sure “the Zionist regime will pay for this crime,” the outlets said.
