An official in the Iranian Presidency Office, Mohammad Jamshidi, revealed that Tehran has warned the United States against getting dragged into a trap, set by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that would "hurt" Washington. 

Iran sent a written message to top US officials, following the Israeli malicious attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria, on Monday. In the context of an expected retaliatory response, Tehran sent a series of messages to the US via third parties. 

"In a written message, the Islamic Republic of Iran warns US leadership not to get dragged in Netanyahu's trap for the US: Stay away so you won't get hurt. In response, US asked Iran not to target American facilities," Jamshidi, a political affairs assistant to the Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, posted on X.

Due to the United Sates' "unwavering" support to Israeli war crimes in the region, Washington found its assets in the region among possible targets, leading to asking Iranian authorities "not to target American facilities."

The US claims that it was not involved or informed of the attack on the Iranian Consulate, which led to the martyrdom of seven Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps officers, including martyr Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi.

IRGC Chief vows to punish "Israel"

During the rally for International al-Quds Day in Tehran, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami vowed that Iran would punish "Israel" for its crime.

"The Zionist regime is like a dagger that the satanic British regime stabbed the body of the Islamic nation with 75 years ago," Salami said, adding that should the United States and Western nations halt their support for "Israel", the occupation would crumble rapidly and very soon. 

On the massacres "Israel" has been committing against Muslims, Salami said the entity's goal to strengthen its position is but an illusion.

Pledging to avenge the martyrs, Salami said, "Our brave men will punish the Zionist regime and the regime cannot escape from the seditions it creates," adding that no crime will go unanswered.
