Iran has threatened to respond to the suspected Israeli strike in Damascus last week that killed seven Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps members, among them a senior commander.
A senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Yahya Rahim Safavi, said on Sunday that none of Israel’s embassies were safe anymore and that Tehran viewed confrontation with Israel as a “legitimate and legal right”.
Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency published a graphic on Sunday that it said showcased nine different types of Iranian missiles it says can hit Israel.
Israel has not confirmed it was behind the strike on Damascus. Its leaders have said in more general terms that they are operating against Iran, which backs militant groups Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, both of which have been in combat with Israel for the past six months.
The United States is also on high alert and preparing for a possible attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region.
Israel, Argentina and the U.S. have blamed Iran for being behind the deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people. Tehran has denied any involvement.
