BEIRUT — The head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group said on Friday that Israel’s alleged strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus this week marked a “turning point” and said that an Iranian response was “definitely coming.”
The Damascus strike on Monday killed seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members, among them a senior Quds Force commander, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi. Iran has vowed revenge.
Iran-backed Hezbollah has said it supports Iran’s right to “punish” Israel, and in televised remarks on Friday, Hassan Nasrallah said the response was coming.
“Be certain, be sure, that the Iranian response to the targeting of the consulate in Damascus is definitely coming against Israel,” he said.
