In a recent press briefing, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh revealed that the United States military believes Israel was responsible for the recent airstrike on Iran's Consulate in Damascus, Syria. The attack allegedly targeted several senior leaders of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

Singh stated on Tuesday that the U.S. assessment points towards Israel as the perpetrator of the strike, affirming that "there were a handful of IRGC top leaders" present at the Iranian Consulate at the time. However, Israel has chosen to remain tight-lipped regarding its involvement in the attack, refraining from commenting on Monday's incident.

Israel has a history of targeting Iranian officers both in Syria and Lebanon and has previously warned of the possibility of a full-fledged war. The country's impatience with ongoing cross-border conflicts with Hezbollah has heightened tensions in the region.

The United States National Security Council, on the other hand, clarified that they played no part in the Damascus strike and were unaware of the operation beforehand. This statement indicates that the U.S. had no prior knowledge or involvement in the attack on Iran's Consulate.

Further details surrounding the airstrike, including the extent of the damage and casualties, have not been provided. The situation remains fluid as international observers analyze the potential implications of an escalation between these regional powers.

As tensions continue to simmer, global attention remains focused on the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the potential consequences it could have on regional stability and international relations.
