The Killing of an Iranian Embassy Employee in Damascus

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced today, Saturday, the death of one of its embassy employees in Damascus due to injuries sustained in a terrorist attack targeting his car last Sunday. Iran has called on the Syrian interim government to assume its responsibilities in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrators of the attack.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry affirmed its commitment to pursuing the case through diplomatic and international channels to ensure justice is served. This development comes amid ongoing security tensions in the region.

In a related context, Iran previously announced that it would not immediately reopen its embassy in Damascus after it was damaged during an attack by armed factions that contributed to shifting the political landscape in Syria. Despite increasing security challenges, Iran reiterates its commitment to maintaining its diplomatic role.
