"Israel on High Alert as Iran Threatens Retaliation for Deadly Strikes"

Iran vows to punish Israel for a suspected airstrike on its embassy compound in Syria that killed seven officers, including a top IRGC commander. Iranian officials, including the IRGC commander-in-chief, reiterated their pledge to retaliate, while former Guards commander Mohsen Rezaei confirmed that the decision for retaliation has been made. The funeral coincided with Iran's annual Quds Day, marked by state-sponsored pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel rallies. The airstrike has raised tensions, with Israel suspending leave for combat units and Iran warning of harsh retaliation, prompting fears of a wider conflict.
