MEHR: The spokesman for Iran's judiciary official stressed that the Islamic Republic will pursue legal actions at international courts in response to the Israeli attack on the country's consulate in Damascus.

Considering the Israeli attack on the building of Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus as in line with the brutal nature of the Tel Aviv regime, Setayeshi said that Tehran will take legal action regarding the Israeli crime at international courts.

The Israeli regime attacked Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Monday evening last week. The Israeli aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of the entire people inside it.

Seven of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors were martyred following the Israeli attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus on Monday, IRGC said in a statement.

Reacting to the Israeli aggression, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan'ani on Monday night said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, while reserving its rights to take countermeasures, decides on the type of reaction and punishment of the aggressor.
