[HIGHLIGHTS] Iranian generals killed in Syria - How does Tehran react?

Two brigadier generals and five members of the powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in the attack on the consular section in the Syrian capital Damascus. Iran's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the attack and blamed its arch-enemy Israel for the attack.

Experts have already expressed concern that some in Iran could see the attack as a declaration of war. The generals were Mohammed-Reza Sahedi and his deputy Mohammed Hadi Haji Rahimi, the Revolutionary Guards said. The Iranian ambassador Hussein Akbari and his family were reportedly unharmed.
