CRUX's video: US Slammed For Umbrella Of Sponsorship Impunity To Israel In UN Meet On Syria Consulate Attack

The United States warned Iran on Tuesday not to retaliate against it for an attack on Iran's embassy compound in Syria, telling the UN Security Council it had no warning of the Israeli strike. The Security Council held an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss the attack, which Israel has not officially taken responsibility for. The strike on Monday - that Iran said killed two of its IRGC Quds Force generals and five other officers of the extra-territorial unit - marked one of the most significant attacks yet on Iranian interests in Syria, where Israel has stepped up a long-running campaign against Iran. "We will not hesitate to defend our personnel and repeat our prior warnings to Iran and its proxies not to take advantage of the situation - again, an attack in which we had no involvement or advanced knowledge - to resume their attacks on U.S. personnel," said deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood. Attacks by Iran-backed proxies against US troops based in Iraq and Syria stopped in February after Washington retaliated for the killing of three US troops in Jordan with dozens of airstrikes on targets in Syria and Iraq linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and militias that it supports. n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
