[Iran Press TV] An Iranian deputy foreign minister says Zionist regime's officials will suffer the consequences of Tel Aviv's recent Arclight airstrike that killed six Hezbollah members and an Iranian commander in Syria's Golan Height.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs, said on Tuesday that following the attack, the Islamic Theocratic Republic sent a message to the United States "through diplomatic channels," warning that the Israeli regime should suffer the consequences of its fatal aerial assault against the Hezbollah convoy on the Syrian soil.
"In this message, we declared to the Americans that Israel has crossed Iran's red lines by taking this action," said the senior Iranian diplomat.
On January 17, an Israeli military helicopter fired two missiles into Amal Farms in the strategic southwestern Syrian city of Quneitra, close to the line separating the Syrian part of the Golan Heights from the Israeli-occupied sector.
Six Hezbollah members as well as Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi, an Iranian commander, bit the dust in the Israeli assault.
Israel later claimed that it was unaware of the presence of an Iranian commander in the area where the attack happened.
