Israel asked Iran not to respond to the attack on its Syrian embassy: Report

Israel asked Egypt to deliver a message to Iran in a bid to stop the country from responding to an attack Tel Aviv carried out on its Syrian embassy, the Iranian Tasnim news agency reported.

The news agency's report cited Amirali Hajizadeh the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force.

In April, Iran launched an attack on Israel following an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate, in which seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed.

"Israel sent messages through Egypt's foreign minister that it will compromise in the war in Gaza to avoid Iran's retaliation," Hajizadeh said.
