"The United States cautioned Iran on Tuesday against retaliating for an attack on Iran's embassy compound in Syria, emphasizing to the U.N. Security Council that it had no prior knowledge of the strike, which Tehran has attributed to Washington's ally Israel.
The attack on Monday, which Iran claimed resulted in the deaths of two of its generals and five military advisers, represents one of the most significant strikes on Iranian interests in Syria, where Israel has intensified its longstanding campaign against Iran.
"We will not hesitate to defend our personnel and reiterate our previous warnings to Iran and its proxies not to exploit the situation—again, an attack in which we were not involved or informed—to resume their attacks on U.S. personnel," stated Deputy U.S.
Ambassador to the U.N. Robert Wood. Attacks by Iran-backed proxies against U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria ceased in February following Washington's retaliation for the killing of three U.S. troops in Jordan, which included dozens of airstrikes on targets in Syria and Iraq linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and militias it supports.
Iran informed the 15-member Security Council that it retains the right "to take decisive action" in response to the attack, accusing Israel of violating the U.N. Charter, international law, and the sanctity of diplomatic and consular premises.
"The United States is accountable for all crimes committed by the Israeli regime," asserted Iran's Deputy U.N.
Ambassador Zahra Ershadi, accusing the U.S. of attempting to destabilize Syria and the region, and criticizing it for supporting Israel in its conflict with Palestinian militants Hamas.
Ershadi urged the Security Council to denounce the attack on Iran's diplomatic premises in Damascus. Wood mentioned that Washington has not yet verified the status of the building targeted in Damascus.
"Any confirmed attack on property that was indeed a diplomatic facility would be concerning to the United States," he remarked.
"Diplomatic missions, their property, and official diplomatic residences must be safeguarded, particularly in times of armed conflict."
Earlier on Tuesday, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack in Damascus, urging "all parties to exercise utmost restraint and prevent further escalation," according to U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.
"He warns that any miscalculation could lead to broader conflict in an already unstable region, with devastating consequences for civilians who are already experiencing unprecedented suffering in Syria, Lebanon, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and the wider Middle East," Dujarric added."
