Threats from Iran, the Israeli embassy in Rome also closed
The headquarters of the Israeli embassy in Rome for fear of possible retaliation by Iran after the raid in which seven officers of the Guardians of the Revolution lost their lives. The capital's diplomatic headquarters is one of 28 Israeli embassies that today, reported the Times of Israel, have been closed.

Iran warns Israel: “No act will go unanswered”
The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Hossein Salami warned that “no act” against the Islamic Republic will go unanswered, following the raid blamed on Israel on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, which left at least fifteen dead. “No act of any enemy against our sacred system will go unanswered. The art of the Iranian nation is to break the power of empires and demonstrate the victory of truth and faith“he said in a speech given on the occasion of al-Quds Day, in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
“Our brave men will punish the Zionist regime,” he warned Salami, in a speech devoted largely to praising the resistance of the Palestinian people and attacking Israel and the United States. Salami stressed that American support for “Zionist crimes” has placed them at the “center of hatred”, not only of the Islamic world, but of much of the world's population, according to the Tasnim news agency.
“THE Zionists and their American supporters think that the more Muslims they kill, besiege and displace, the better they will be able to continue living, but this is actually the opposite of their dream – he denounced again -. The geography of Gaza is small on the map, but its political geography is very large, and a large level of spiritual support has been created in the world for the Palestinian people, who have shown legendary resilience.”
Salami expressed confidence that the Palestinians will move forward and regain the assets they have been deprived of: “The Zionists cannot choose between war and life; their path is to surrender, they must realize that they will not achieve security in the region by expanding the war.”
