On his X profile, the diplomat described the action as a flagrant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and international law.

These unacceptable actions increase the risk of escalation and regionalization of the conflict with unpredictable consequences, he pointed out.

The Israeli attack destroyed the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital, near the Tehran Embassy, causing several deaths and damage to neighboring buildings.

The offensive came less than 24 hours after a rocket attack on the outskirts of Damascus that wounded two civilians.
