Iran adheres to ambiguity over attack on US base in Syria
Iranian officials continue to neither confirm nor deny responsibility for a recent deadly attack on US forces in Syria that has been blamed on Tehran-backed proxies.
TEHRAN — Iran's Foreign Ministry suggested on Tuesday that a statement by a group named the Iranian Advisory Center in Syria — which has warned US forces of fresh attacks — was not representative of Tehran's stance.
"Iran's official positions on the fight against terrorism in Syria will either be made public by the Foreign Ministry or the embassy in Damascus," ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
In its statement that circulated on social media last week, the body issued a warning to US forces in Syria, pledging to target them if they attack Iranian troops or bases there.

"And if you return, we will return and make Hell for the unbelievers
Believe the God Almighty"
