Iranian state media claims an Israeli airstrike outside Damascus in Syria on Monday killed a senior advisor in Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported that three security sources confirmed the death of Sayyed Razi Mousavi, who was responsible for coordinating a military alliance between Iran and Syria.<\/p>\n

State television interrupted programming to announce the death of Mousavi and described him as one of the oldest advisors for the Guard in Syria.<\/p>\n

The announcement stated that Mousavi accompanied Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Guards\u2019 elite Quds Force, who died in a U.S. drone attack in Iraq in 2020.<\/p>\n

Damascus Hossein Akbari, Iran\u2019s ambassador, told state television that the late Mousavi was in the embassy as a diplomat, adding he was killed by missiles fired by Israel after returning home from work.<\/p>\n

The assassination was a show of Israel\u2019s weakness, according to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.<\/p>\n

“This act is a sign of the Zionist regime’s frustration and weakness in the region for which it will certainly pay the price,” Raisi was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

Echoing Raisi, the Revolutionary Guards also said Israel would suffer for killing the advisor.<\/p>\n

“The usurper and savage Zionist regime will pay for this crime,” the Guards said in a statement provided to state TV.<\/p>\n

Nasser Kanaani, a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, told state TV, “Iran reserves the right to take necessary measures to respond to this action at the appropriate time and place.”<\/p>\n

Tehran\u2019s influence in the country has continued to grow after backing President Bashar al-Assad in the civil war that broke out in 2011 in Syria.<\/p>\n

Iran claimed earlier this month that Israeli strikes killed two members of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria, who also served as military advisers.<\/p>\n
