Will Iranian President take revenge against Israel Air strike? Why tension between Iran and Israel?
Reportedly Sayyed Reza Mousavi, a senior commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and in charge of syria and lebanon operations, was killed in an Israeli air strike in syria on monday (25 December). According to a report by The Jerusalem Post, the sound of explosions was heard in the area of Set Zainab, a rural area of Damascus. Shortly thereafter, videos on social media showed a cloud of smoke near Damascus international Airport, an area often targeted by israel due to its use by Iran-backed proxies.
Meanwhile Iranian government-owned broadcaster press TV has confirmed Mousavi's death. press TV has described Mousavi as a senior advisor in Syria. According to press TV, Mousavi was a close associate of former Quds Force chief Qasim Sulemani. Qasim was killed in a US drone attack in january 2020.
iran has vowed to avenge Mousavi's death. In a statement to press TV, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said, "Undoubtedly, the Jewish government will have to pay the price of this crime." “This action is yet another sign of the frustration and incompetence of the occupying Jewish regime,” he said.
