Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria on Monday, a marked escalation in a war pitting Israel against its regional adversaries, and Tehran said the strike killed seven military advisers including three senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

    On the one hand, bombing someones embassy is a crime (and i expect nothing lesd from this regime), on the other hand, killing IRGC Generals is the best thing that Israel has done in a long time.

    Edit: Apparently it isnt clear: The IRGC is a terrorist organization responsible for bombing kurds, murdering opposition leaders and massacres in Sistan and Baluchistan. Their skin color is completely irrelevant for me, i will always celebrate the deaths of people who harmed my extended family.

        Yes, i am only endorse this because the generals werent white, not because the IRGC are systematically oppressing an entire country and have routinely bombed, tortured and murdered ethnic minorities in at home and abroad. Surely this is only motivated by racism.

      Just a check, are all US embassies legit targets? I ask because the CIA is known to act out of them and the CIA is known for horrific acts that some might say generate terror.
