Iran will respond to attacks on its interests in Syria, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said on Monday when asked about the killing by Israel of two Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria last week.
"No action against Iran's interests and our advisory forces in Syria will go unanswered," Kanaani said. Two Iranian Revolutionary Guards members who served as military advisers in Syria were killed in an Israeli attack, Iranian state media reported on Nov. 2, in the first reported Iranian casualties during the ongoing war in Gaza.
Iran, a longtime backer of the Palestinian group Hamas, confirmed on Sunday evening that it has received an official invitation to attend the high-level Gaza peace summit scheduled for Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. However, the Islamic Republic has yet to announce whether it will participate.
Jean-Noël Barrot, France’s outgoing Foreign Minister, took to X Sunday to claim France “opened the way” for the U.S. peace plan in Gaza, securing hostage releases and a ceasefire.
The release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza is expected to begin early Monday morning, according to Shosh Bedrosian, spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
