Iran accuses Israel of assassinating the Lebanese and Syrian commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, Reza Zahidi. Zahidi was killed in an airstrike near the Iranian embassy in Damascus.
Iran claims that Israel damaged a consular structure, and in fact on Iranian sovereign territory, while violating international treaties. Iran is also working to increase diplomatic pressure on Israel, and demanded an urgent meeting of the Security Council, which at Russia's request is indeed expected to convene to discuss the attack.
