The Iranian Revolutionary Guard said, on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was one of the responses to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, indicating that Tehran’s response to the assassination of Radhi Mousavi “will include a direct response and movements by the resistance front.”
On Monday, the 25th of this month, the advisor known as Sayyed Radhi Mousavi, who was responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran, was killed in an Israeli air strike on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
State television stated at the time that Mousavi was “one of Qasem Soleimani’s companions,” the commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, who was killed in an American drone attack in Iraq in 2020.
Iranian state television quoted the Revolutionary Guards as saying in a statement, Israel will pay the price for the killing of a senior Guard commander in an attack in Syria.
Yesterday, Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said that “Tel Aviv must wait for a difficult countdown” after the killing of Revolutionary Guard leader Radhi Mousavi, following an Israeli attack in Syria, according to what Anadolu Agency reported.
He also explained that Mousavi was "Iran's advisor on combating terrorism in Syria," noting that he was in the region for many years with General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the United States in early 2020 in an air strike in Iraq. Abdullahian continued: “Tel Aviv should wait for a difficult countdown.”
For years, Israel has launched attacks on what it describes as targets linked to Iran in Syria, where Tehran's influence has increased since its support for Bashar al-Assad in the war that broke out in Syria in 2011.
