Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi vowed Tuesday that an airstrike on its consulate in Syria believed to be by Israel would 'not go unanswered.'
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi vowed revenge against Israel following a deadly airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Syria on Tuesday. Raisi called the attack – for which Israel has not confirmed responsibility – a 'cowardly crime' and said it would 'not go unanswered.' Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also promised that 'Israel will be punished.' Iranian leaders also said they hold the U.S. responsible for the attack due to its support for Israel.
Experts told Fox News Digital that Iran is not likely to respond directly against the Jewish state but rather use its proxies to do the job. 'Given the target and location of the strike – at a building adjacent to the consulate — I expect the Iranians to respond,' WHO IS MOHAMMAD REZA ZAHEDI, THE IRANIAN MILITARY COMMANDER REPORTEDLY KILLED IN SYRIA? 'It is difficult to say how the Iranians respond,' Bill Roggio, managing editor of Long War Journal, said.
