Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian's recent visit to Damascus, Syria, comes in the wake of a suspected Israeli attack on Iran's consulate in the city, which resulted in the deaths of seven Iranian military officials, including two generals who were military advisors. During his visit, Amir-Abdollahian inaugurated a new Iranian consulate and issued a stern warning, stating that Israel would be punished for its actions through possible measures including regional allies, diplomatic facilities, and missile strikes. He accused the United States of giving the green light for the attack and held it fully responsible. The visit is part of a regional tour that included a stop in Oman and is set against a backdrop of heightened tensions following the deadly strike. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also weighed in, asserting that Israel must be punished for the attack, which he equated to an assault on Iranian soil. Amid these tensions, US lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to prevent Iranian officials from entering the US, as Iran's top diplomat is set to participate in a UN Security Council session on Palestine next week.
