On April 1, Israeli forces used F35 warplanes to flatten the annex of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, killing eight Iranian officers, including Zahedi, a senior commander of the Revolutionary Guard Quds Force.
This is in retaliation for the launch of a drone at a naval base in southern Israel by an Iranian-commanded Shiite armed group in Iraq a few hours ago.
This incident is a clear indication of the escalation of the confrontation between Israel and Iran, as Israel has never bombed Iranian diplomatic facilities in the past. The Israeli side claimed that it was actually a military installation, as can be seen from the fact that all the dead were Revolutionary Guard officers.
So how can Iran retaliate?
It is useless to count on Hamas, who is now beaten to the corner of Gaza and is powerless to restore its rule. And Iran does not dare to attack Israel directly, and it is estimated that it still relies on Allah to harass Israel from the north.
