Iran has stated that its recent attack on Israel was in retaliation to Israel's strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. The Iranian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York confirmed that the attack on Sunday was a response to what they termed as Israeli aggression against their diplomatic premises in Damascus.
Earlier this month, Israel conducted an airstrike on an Iranian building in the Syrian capital of Damascus. A military spokesperson from Israel stated that the target was believed to be a military building associated with Iran.
The Iranian mission indicated that they consider the matter to be concluded. However, they issued a warning that if Israel were to repeat such actions, Iran's response would be more severe. The statement from Iran's Permanent Mission emphasized that the conflict is between Iran and the Israeli regime, urging the United States to stay out of the situation.
