Iran warned US of 'consequences' for killing general
Iran's deputy foreign minister has said that Iran told the United States that there will be "consequences" for Israel over the Jan. 18 killing of an Iranian general.
Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdoollahian has said that Iranian officials sent the United States a message about the killing of an Iranian general by Israel.
At a ceremony in honor of Gen. Mohammad Ali Allahdadi, who was killed along with six Hezbollah fighters in the Golan Heights city of Quneitra Jan. 18, Abdollahian said, “In this message, we told the Americans that the Zionist regime crossed Iran’s red lines with this act.”
He added that the message, sent through “diplomatic channels,” warned that “Zionist officials should await the consequences of their actions.”
A number of senior Iranian officials attended the ceremony for Allahdadi, including Quds Force commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani, Vice President Eshag Jahangiri, the supreme leader special adviser Yahya Rahim Safavi, along with a number of other high ranking military and security officials.
