An ambulance is parked outside the Iranian embassy after a suspected Israeli strike on Iran’s consulate, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building, in the Syrian capital Damascus. (File/ Reuters) Israeli warplanes attacked an Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Syria on April 1, killing at least 13 people, including two Iranian generals and five officers. The strike signified an escalation of Israel’s targeting of military officials from Iran, which supports militant groups fighting Israel in Gaza, and along its border with Lebanon.

After a weekend of retaliatory strikes, the United States on Sunday warned Iran and the militias it arms and funds that it will conduct more attacks if American forces in the Mideast continue to be targeted, but that it does not want an “open-ended military campaign” across the region. “We are prepared to deal with anything that any group or any country tries to come at us with,” said Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser.
