Important Takeaways:

  • We Are Just One Step Away From An Apocalyptic War In The Middle East
  • Did you see what just happened in Damascus? In an absolutely stunning move, Israel took out the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.  Needless to say, the Iranians are absolutely furious and they are promising a “harsh” response.
  • The building that was destroyed by the IDF airstrike was reportedly directly next to Iran’s embassy in Damascus…
    • A building next to Iran’s embassy in Damascus has been destroyed in an airstrike, reportedly killing a senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps and five others – with state media saying Israel was behind the attack.
    • Pictures show the building in Syria’s capital razed to the ground, with huge plumes of smoke rising from the site following the explosion this afternoon and emergency workers rushing to the scene.
  • This particular building was apparently the residence of the Iranian ambassador to Syria.
  • The Syrian government says that the missiles that destroyed this building were fired from the Golan Heights…
    • The Syrian Ministry of Defense responded with a statement.
    • “This evening, the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of the occupied Syrian Golan, targeting the Iranian consulate building in Damascus,” it said.
    • “Our air defenses responded to the missiles and shot down some of them. The aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of everyone inside.
    • “Work is underway to recover the bodies of the martyrs, treat the wounded and remove debris.”
  • It appears that the IDF was targeting a gathering of very important regional leaders.
  • Mohammad Reza Zahedi was among those that were killed. He was the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps…
  • Another important Iranian military official named Haji Rahimi is also dead…
  • In fact, Iran’s ambassador to Syria has already publicly stated that the response will be “harsh”…
  • As Zero Hedge has aptly noted, if Iran’s response is too severe, it could spark “an all-out regional war”…
    • Depending on Iran’s response, this could be the start of an all-out regional war. For months now, Iranian-made ballistic missiles and drones have rained down on Israel, fired by Iran’s proxies in Lebanon and Yemen. This new brazen Israeli attack on Iran’s embassy takes things into uncharted territory, and also opens up the potential for the Iranians to target Israeli embassies abroad.
