TEHRAN — A senior Iranian foreign policy official warned Israel on Tuesday that its strike on an air base in Syria that killed several Iranians would “not remain without a response,” the Lebanese news channel Al Mayadeen reported.
Seven Iranian military personnel were killed on Monday in the strike on the Tiyas, or T4, air base near Homs, according to the Iranian news agency Tasnim. The semiofficial Fars news agency initially said that three were members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but the report was later withdrawn without explanation.
Syria, Iran and Russia have accused Israel of mounting the attack, though Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement. Israel has carried out several strikes in Syria in the past, some aimed at stopping what it says is a military buildup by Iran and its regional ally, Hezbollah, along the Syrian-Israeli border.
Along with Russia, Iran has been a crucial ally of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, supporting his government militarily, financially and politically since a 2011 rebellion turned into a civil war. Iran has since extended its influence in Syria, something Israel views as a threat, leading to building tensions.
