Iranian embassy in the Syrian capitl of Damasus is hit in Israeli strike on April 1st.

Damascus, April 10 (RHC)-- Iran’s foreign minister has opened a new diplomatic site in the Syrian capital of Damascus, one week after Israel bombed the Iranian Consulate, killing at least seven Iranian officers. 

Hossein Amahian renewed Iran’s vow to retaliate and accused the U.S. of giving Israel the “green light” for the attack.  The Iranian top diplomat said: “I want to say from here in Damascus with a loud voice: America is responsible for this terrorist attack, and it must take responsibility.”

Meanwhile, Iranian press is reporting Tehran told the Biden administration it will refrain from attacking Israel if the U.S. can secure a ceasefire in Gaza.  The report has not been confirmed by Tehran, and the Biden administration has denied it.
