Hezbollah chief says Iran response ‘inevitable’ after strike on IRGC generals

The leader of Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group warns Friday that Tehran will inevitably retaliate after a strike widely blamed on Israel destroyed its embassy’s consular annex in Damascus this week, killing two generals.

“Be certain that Iran’s response to the targeting of its Damascus consulate is inevitable,” Hassan Nasrallah says in a televised speech marking Quds (Jerusalem) Day — an annual day of pro-Palestinian rallies held by Iran and its allies.

Nasrallah calls the alleged Israeli strike a “turning point” since October 7, when Hamas launched a terror onslaught against Israel, killing some 1,200 and taking another 253 hostage. (Times of Israel)
