The IRGC warned Israel that it or its allies would take “direct” action to avenge the killing of Razi Moussavi, a senior commander who was killed in a missile strike near the Syrian capital. The Israeli army has not commented on the killing, but the IRGC has warned that there will be a response to Moussavi’s assassination. The Gaza crisis has drawn in armed groups backed by Iran in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Hundreds of mourners attended memorial prayers for Moussavi in Iraq and Iran sees it as its duty to support the resistance groups. Iran’s ambassador to Iraq described Moussavi’s death as the latest of the Israeli “enemy’s list of crimes”.
