Israel will strike
Iran's nuclear facilities if the country decides to avenge the destruction of the Iranian consulate, which resulted in the elimination of generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This was reported by
The Sun with reference to a representative of Western services.
"Israel will respond to any attacks with a direct strike on Iran's nuclear facilities," the newspaper said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Elaph News also reported on Israel's covert preparations for strikes on Iran. "In recent days, Israel has been conducting secret training of the air force using various types of fighter jets (...) to strike sensitive facilities in Iran that may belong to Iran's nuclear project," the newspaper writes, citing Western officials.
On April 1, the Israeli Air Force
struck a building next to the Iranian embassy in the
Syrian capital,
Damascus. As a result, the building of the Iranian consulate was destroyed and the commanders of the IRGC unit, Generals Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, were eliminated.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi
promised an imminent response to Israel's strike after the incident.
