The consular section of Iranian embassy in Damascus has resumed work after an Israeli terrorist attack brough halt to the diplomatic mission of the Islamic Republic.

Israel targeted the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital in a terrorist attack on April 1, leaving seven people martyred including a senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commander.

Iran's Ambassador to Damascus Hossein Akbari confirmed the reports of the Israeli attack and said the regime had targeted the consular building with six missiles.

During a ceremony to mark International Quds Day at the Iranian embassy in Damascus on Friday, Akbari said Iran has requested an extraordinary session of the UN Security Council (UNSC) by filing a complaint over the Israeli attack on the consular section of the embassy.

"Given the failure of the Security Council to take necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such heinous crimes by the Zionist regime, Iran reserves the right to respond," he said.

The ambassador also called on members of the Security Council and the United Nations not to remain silent in the face of these crimes and to fulfill their obligation in preserving international peace and security.
