The commander of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard has said there will be retaliation for an airstrike – he blames on Israel – that destroyed Iran’s consulate in Syria, killing 12 people. In Tehran, thousands turned out to attend a funeral for seven members of the Guard – including two senior generals who were killed in the blast. Marchers chanted ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’. Clashes between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah along the Israeli-Lebanese border have increased since the war in Gaza began nearly six months ago. DW spoke to Ali Fathollah-Nejad, Director of the Center for Middle East and Global Order in Berlin.
