Iran reacts to martyrdom of IRGC advisor by Israeli regime

Seyyed Razi Mousavi, a veteran advisor of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Syria, was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on the Zainabiyah district of the capital Damascus earlier on Monday afternoon.

Issuing a statement later on Monday, Kan'ani condemned the terrorist act and said that “this vicious act is another clear sign of the terrorist nature of the Zionist regime.”

Since its creation, the Israeli regime has committed all kinds of crimes by repeatedly and continuously violating international regulations, the spokesman said, adding that the regime has today committed another cowardly and aggressive terrorist act.

The senior Iranian diplomat extended condolences to the Iranian nation, the IRGC, as well as the family of the martyred advisor, stressing that the Islamic Republic reserves the right to take necessary measures and respond to his killing at the right time and in the right place.
