Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has threatened Israel with retaliation after two Iranian generals were killed in a suspected Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus.
"The malicious regime will be punished by our brave men," he said on Tuesday in a statement a day after the strike. "We will make sure that they repent for this and similar crimes, God willing," he said.
His comments came after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi had already strongly condemned the attack and threatened to respond.
