MOSCOW, April 8. /TASS/. Tehran will determine a response to an attack on its consulate in Syria but it does not want the conflict in the Middle East to expand, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said.

"We will certainly determine a response (to the consulate attack - TASS) but Iran does not want the conflict zone to expand in the region," he pointed out at a press conference dedicated to International Al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day).

On April 1, the IRCG announced that seven Iranian military advisors had been killed in an Israeli airstrike on Tehran’s consulate in Damascus. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Tehran would make Israel repent for the strike, while President Ebrahim Raisi vowed that the attack would not go unanswered. Israel has so far made no statements on responsibility for the airstrike. However, Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told CNN that, according to the Israeli military's data, the strike had not targeted Iran’s consulate but an IRGC military facility, which he claimed had only been disguised as a civilian building.
