Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria on Monday, a marked escalation in a war pitting Israel against its regional adversaries, and Tehran said the strike killed seven military advisers including three senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

    Just a check, are all US embassies legit targets? I ask because the CIA is known to act out of them and the CIA is known for horrific acts that some might say generate terror.

      Once again, i did not label them a legitimate target, i just celebrate the death of IRGC Generals. No, I dont want other embassy wprkers to die and i domt like this attack. If you wanna kill CIA agents in the field, you have my blessings.

        I was just curious. It wasn’t a gotcha. I feel they, even the embassy workers, are valid targets when at an embassy.
