An Israeli airstrike near Iran's embassy in Damascus killed two senior members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, prompting Iran to threaten a "decisive response." The strike, which also killed five other officers, is seen as a significant escalation due to its location in a diplomatic compound. The IRGC has been targeted in previous strikes, and the recent attack has raised concerns about potential wider conflict in the region.
