Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting.
Air attack warning sirens began wailing over Jerusalem just before 2am local time on Sunday after the weapons were fired a few hours earlier from Iran with US and Jordanian military assisting Israel’s air defenses in intercepting the first incoming barrage.
With weapons believed to be still in the air en route to Israel, Iran’s mission to the United Nations posted on X: “Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded.”
However, it threatened more severe action in the face of further Israeli aggression and warned the US and Jordan specifically not to assist Israel.

Has the US ever bombed an embassy? Knowing your post history, I have a feeling you left out that detail for a reason.
Yup
Good, 25 years ago and not a part of this conflict. And it was a huge issue. The OP is trying to omit that part of the story.
In any case, hopefully Israel gets what it deserves for the genocide it’s committing.
The Syrian Israeli strike was not on Iran’s embassy. It was on a building next door. An embassey is where you practice consultant affairs. Having a place to discuss military strategy doesn’t count.
As an apologist for the genocide, I know why you do it, I just want other people to see your strategy.
Have you ever worked on your vocabulary? It needs freshoning
