Iran vowed Friday (Saturday AEDT) to avenge Israel’s killing of senior commanders and other officers of its elite Quds Force, at a public funeral held for the dead men, elevating fears of open war but leaving unsaid how it would retaliate or when.
US officials in Washington and the Middle East said that they were bracing for possible Iranian retaliation for the Israeli airstrike Monday in Damascus, Syria.
