Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has inaugurated the new building for the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus after Israeli strike demolishes the previous structure.

Amir-Abdollahian opened the new site in a ceremony attended by his Syrian counterpart, Faisal Mekdad, on Monday.

Earlier, the two top diplomats and their accompanying delegations visited the previous site of the Iranian Embassy’s Consular Section, located in the Mezzeh neighborhood in the Syrian capital, which was destroyed in the Israeli attack. 

Israel targeted with six missiles 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 has pledged to give definite response to last week’s terrorist attack by Israeli regime that martyred seven IRGC military advisors with two senior commanders among them.
