Israel is on high alert against the possibility that Iran will react radically to the assassination of a senior Revolutionary Guards officer, Mohammad Reza Zahedi, in the heart of Damascus. The fear in Israel is that the Iranians are preparing for a widespread attack that will cause damage and deaths to the Israeli home front.
In Israel, it is estimated that Iran is determined to respond to the targeted countermeasures - but they refused to comment on whether the assessments are based on solid intelligence information. Either way, the threats were repeated two days ago by the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdallahian, during his visit to Damascus at the end of a meeting with the leaders of the Syrian regime. It can be estimated. that Iran does not Respond directly from Iran, as it will be followed by a direct response from Israel in Iran. The Iranians are trying to attribute to Israel damage to Iranian sovereign space - this is how a consulate and an embassy are perceived. We have established a simple principle, whoever hurts us, we hurt him.
