An Iranian deputy foreign minister says Zionist regime’s officials will
suffer the consequences of Tel Aviv’s recent airstrike that killed six
Hezbollah members and an Iranian commander in Syria’s Golan Height.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's deputy foreign minister for Arab and
African affairs, said on Tuesday that following the attack, the Islamic
Republic sent a message to the United States “through diplomatic channels,”
warning that the Israeli regime should suffer the consequences of its fatal
aerial assault against the Hezbollah convoy on the Syrian soil.

“In this message, we declared to the Americans that Israel has crossed Iran’s
red lines by taking this action,” said the senior Iranian diplomat.

On January 17, an Israeli military helicopter fired two missiles into Amal
Farms in the strategic southwestern Syrian city of Quneitra, close to the
line separating the Syrian part of the Golan Heights from the
Israeli-occupied sector.

Six Hezbollah members as well as Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi,
an Iranian commander, lost their lives in the Israeli assault.

Israel later claimed that it was unaware of the presence of an Iranian
commander in the area where the attack happened.

Iranian officials, however, have rejected the claim, describing it as a
routine tactic used by Israelis to hide their evil intentions.

Earlier on Tuesday, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, a top military advisor
to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, called
Israel’s claims as mere “lies,” saying that such statements reveal the Tel
Aviv regime’s fear of Iran’s retaliation.

The January 17 attack in Quneitra has sparked fears within Israel of
Hezbollah’s possible retaliation.

Israeli media have reported over the past days that the regime is closely
monitoring the movements close to the Lebanese border and in the occupied
Golan Heights.
