At least four Iranian military advisers killed in Israeli strike on Damascus • FRANCE 24 English

Iranian State media now has uh put out a statement coming from uh Iran’s revolutionary guards who themselves are uh reportedly confirming that at least four uh military advisers four members of the Revolutionary guards were killed in the strike and that would include the Revolutionary guard Syria intelligence

Chief as well as his Deputy so a pretty senior members of the Revolutionary guards killed in that strike according to the group itself self uh the strike uh in Damascus targeted a building where some sources cited by both Syrian and Iranian uh TV were saying that there was

A meeting of those revolutionary guards alongside some Syrian uh officials uh that uh building was in the neighborhood of ma it’s very high security neighborhood it’s a diplomatic neighborhood with there plenty of diplomatic missions including a United Nation uh diplomatic Mission uh the other thing that is coming out of the strike of

Course you mentioned the Israeli strike this was uh claimed by uh the Syrian and Iranian State tv calling it an Israeli aggression now uh Israel has not commented yet and they usually don’t comment when it comes to these types of strikes as they have done in the past

They neither deny nor confirm that they were behind these strikes but as you said they’ve been doing that for quite a bit of time and just in December there was a strike in a suburb of Damascus that one killing an Iranian General Sayad razi musavi there at the time the

Israelis again not confirming that they were behind the strike but insisting that they would go after those types of targets wherever they are meaning possibly uh in Syria at the time that strike uh there are plenty of foreign officials who had said yes the this is

Uh what the Israelis are doing so it is likely that Israel was behind it even though we probably will never get an official uh confirmation but the fact that they’re targeting uh these revolutionary guards Iran’s uh sort of military arm abroad uh is very important

And uh if it is confirmed that these are two of the top uh commanders in Syria that’s also uh pretty significant when it comes to an Israeli strike in Syria and of course we’ve seen uh this happen in other uh areas too in other countries there was that strike in Lebanon uh so

Uh Israel really following through at least on uh what they say is going after uh those targets linked to Iran linked to Hezbollah linked to Hamas wherever they may be and Reuters is reporting that

An alleged Israeli strike on the Syrian capital on Saturday destroyed a building used by the Iranian paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, killing at least four Iranians, Syrian and Iranian state media reported.

  8. Iran must stop fighting behind the scenes. It's obvious there's war in Mideast. Unfortunately there's no organisation on earth which can stop this .

  14. If Israel is allowed to have US advisors on her territory, why the fuss when a sovereign state wants Iranian advisors on its territory. Israel cannot then legally decide to launch attacks into another sovereign state. This is an affront to International Law.
    Why are there US bases in Syria when the US just bullies their way in? They are in effect, occupying enemy forces. This is against international law. When Russia tried to do this in Ukraine, the whole of NATO/EU rose up to sanction Russia with the heaviest and most comprehensive set of punitive sanctions ever devised by man. But when the US invaded Syria, the world was silent. Why?

  17. 🇮🇷 Iran response: more empty threats and mindless rhetoric as usual
    Iran 🇮🇷 to Pakistan 🇵🇰: OK 👌 lets go back to being "brotherly"
    🤣🤦‍♂️

  19. Iranian revolutionary guards commanders are recklessly with their own security never seems to learn or maybe it's hard to hide from US and Israel eye.

  20. Iran busy spreading their terror agenda across the Middle East.

    Couple that with their fights against Iraq and Pakistan. Isn’t it clear who the troublemaker is in the Middle East? It’s iran!

  21. If Iran announced these casualty's, then it's a lie. Its a play between US and Iran to diffuse the world outrage against Iran's recent rocket attack on Iraq and Pakistan

  22. Meeting to Pray to Allah-akbar. Iron Sword of Israel standing strong. It was not Israeli- It was a US Reaper drone missiles – that's what the missile fragments have shown on the ground.
    Syria Need Russia defense systems.

  27. Why are they still using the title ‘Revolutionary Guard” when they are now in the palace and the new revolutionaries are those that they oppress?

  31. "Proxy wars"refer to conflicts in which two opposing powers avoid direct military confrontation by supporting opposing sides in a third country. Instead of engaging in direct combat, these opposing powers provide military and financial aid to their respective allies in the third country.

  33. Gaza is an active hostage rescue zone. No supplies should go in without hostages being released. Bystanders can be allowed to leave. If the suffering was great Gaza would have already freed hostages

  34. Iranian Commander General has been assassinated in Syria as a result of attack from Israel . Earlier a Senior Commander was also assassinated in Syria as a result of attack from Israel . I am failed to understand that Iran always remains busy to issue threats to American forces and Israel , without any strike upon Israel or American forces . Let us wait and see about the retaliation from Iran .

  38. A bad nasty retired General Dynamics director, previously worked in San Diego USA, probably more than 85 yrs old now, is exploiting illegally US Gov's monitoring satellite to harass normal US civilians, inside USA & all over the world for his own entertainment & amusement.

    These remote sensors of the monitoring satellites are capable of interpreting the words you're thinking in your mind, may be, by air vibration or by scanning the brainwaves from your brain.

    The Israeli IDF are using similar satellite technologies to spy on the Hamas leadership hiding deep inside the Gaza Tunnels. IDF once released footage of these videos in much degraded resolution.

    This retired General Dynamics director could have been the mastermind behind the plane crash killing the Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown of the Clinton Administration, in the plane crash in 1996 in Croatia.

    The United States as we learned and studied in American high school does not exist anymore; it has been destroyed.

    Joe Biden allows this to happen…

    United States have been dead. American citizens don't have human rights.

    This retired Director of General Dynamics is a disgrace of the United States.

  41. The world ia going to figure it out here real soon. Our kids will live in peace and actually Love each other. Meanwhile "FRAG OUT"
