The Syrian Défense Ministry has confirmed that Israeli aircraft targeted the Iranian consulate building in Damascus’ western Mezzeh district, originating from the direction of the occupied Golan Heights around 17:00 local time on Monday.
叙利亚国防部证实，以色列飞机于当地时间周一17:00左右从被占领的戈兰高地方向袭击了位于大马士革西部Mezzeh区的伊朗领事馆大楼。
Despite Syrian air defences intercepting some missiles, others penetrated through, resulting in the complete destruction of the building and casualties among its occupants, as stated by the ministry. Efforts are ongoing to retrieve bodies and aid the wounded trapped under the debris, although specific casualty figures have not been disclosed.
正如该部所说，尽管叙利亚防空系统拦截了一些导弹，但其他导弹穿透了大楼，导致大楼完全被毁，居住者伤亡。尽管具体伤亡数字尚未披露，但仍在努力打捞尸体并帮助被困在废墟下的伤员。
Images and videos from the site depict smoke and debris emanating from the collapsed structure, while the nearby Iranian embassy seems to have escaped significant damage.
现场的图像和视频显示，倒塌的建筑物冒出烟雾和碎片，而附近的伊朗大使馆似乎没有受到重大破坏。
Iran’s ambassador, Hossein Akbari, denounced the attack, citing casualties among embassy staff and military attaches. He confirmed between five to seven fatalities, including diplomats. Subsequently, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced the loss of seven officers, including Brig-Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Brig-Gen Mohammad Hadi Haji-Rahimi, both noted as senior military advisors.
伊朗大使侯赛因·阿克巴里谴责了这次袭击，称使馆工作人员和武官伤亡。他证实有5至7人死亡，其中包括外交官。随后，伊朗革命卫队宣布失去七名军官，其中包括穆罕默德·雷萨·扎赫迪准将和穆罕默德·哈迪·哈吉·拉希米准将，他们都是著名的高级军事顾问。
Reports from the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights suggest a higher death toll, including a senior Quds Force leader, two Iranian advisors, and five Revolutionary Guards members.
总部位于英国的叙利亚人权观察站的报告显示，死亡人数更高，其中包括一名圣城军高级领导人、两名伊朗顾问和五名革命卫队成员。
Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad condemned the strike as a “heinous terrorist attack,” mourning the loss of innocent lives. In a conversation with Mekdad, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian criticized the assault as a breach of international obligations, attributing responsibility to the Zionist regime.
叙利亚外交部长费萨尔·迈克达德谴责这次袭击是“令人发指的恐怖袭击”，哀悼无辜生命的损失。伊朗外交部长侯赛因·阿米尔·阿卜杜拉希安在与迈克达德的谈话中批评这次袭击违反了国际义务，并将责任归咎于犹太复国主义政权。
The incident underscores heightened tensions in the region and the enduring complexities of the Syrian conflict intertwined with broader geopolitical rivalries.
这一事件突显了该地区紧张局势的加剧，以及叙利亚冲突与更广泛的地缘政治对抗交织在一起的持久复杂性。
Iran has vowed revenge after Israeli war planes destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing at least 11 people, including a senior officials. Iran’s leaders in Tehran described the targeting of a diplomatic mission late on Monday as unprecedented and promised a harsh response. Iran said that several long-serving diplomats were killed alongside Brig Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Zahedi’s deputy, Gen Haji Rahimi. It was also reported that Brig Gen Hossein Amirollah, was among the victims. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 11 people were killed in the attack.
以色列战机摧毁了伊朗驻大马士革领事馆，造成包括一名高级官员在内的至少11人死亡，伊朗发誓要进行报复。伊朗驻德黑兰领导人称，周一晚些时候针对外交使团的袭击是前所未有的，并承诺将作出严厉回应。伊朗表示，几名长期任职的外交官与穆罕默德·雷萨·扎赫迪准将和扎赫迪的副手哈吉·拉希米将军一起被杀。另据报道，侯赛因·阿米罗拉准将也在受害者之列。总部位于英国的叙利亚人权观察站表示，有11人在袭击中丧生。
“Benjamin Netanyahu has completely lost his mental balance due to the successive failures in Gaza and his failure to achieve his Zionist goals.” Iran’s ambassador to Syria, Hossein Akbari, said Iran’s response to the strike would be “at the same magnitude and harshness”. He said the consulate in the Syrian capital had been hit by six missiles launched by F-35 jets. Bodies were still being identified in the rubble, he said.
“由于在加沙的接连失败和未能实现犹太复国主义目标，本雅明·内塔尼亚胡已经完全失去了精神平衡。”伊朗驻叙利亚大使侯赛因·阿克巴里表示，伊朗对此次袭击的反应将“同样严厉”。他说，驻叙利亚首都的领事馆被F-35战斗机发射的六枚导弹击中。他说，废墟中仍有尸体被确认。
Akbari, who had been working at the nearby embassy, vowed Iran would continue to support Palestinians in Gaza, and had no fear of the Israeli government. But the attack represents a test for Iran, which will feel the need to respond while it remains keen to avoid dragging itself into an open all-out conflict with Israel. Israel has mounted successive strikes on Iranian and Syrian military leaders in Lebanon and Syria since before the latest conflict in Gaza, but this was one of the most audacious.
阿克巴里一直在附近的大使馆工作，他发誓伊朗将继续支持加沙的巴勒斯坦人，并不怕以色列政府。但这次袭击对伊朗来说是一次考验，伊朗将感到有必要做出回应，同时仍热衷于避免拖入与以色列的公开全面冲突。自加沙最近的冲突发生以来，以色列已连续对黎巴嫩和叙利亚的伊朗和叙利亚军事领导人发动袭击，但这是最大胆的袭击之一。
Syria’s foreign minister, Faisal Mekdad, visited the scene of Monday’s attack and vowed that Israeli forces will not be able to damage relations between Iran and Syria. The strike follows a marked increase in violence between Israel and Hezbollah on the Israeli-Lebanon boundary since Hamas’s 7 October attack, as well as the resumption of violent attacks by Iranian-backed militia on US and Israeli positions in Iraq. Last Friday, Israeli strikes in Syria killed 53 people, including 38 soldiers and seven members of Hezbollah, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. It was the highest Syrian army toll in Israeli strikes since the Israel-Hamas war began in October, the monitor said.
叙利亚外交部长费萨尔·迈克达德视察了周一的袭击现场，并发誓以色列军队不会破坏伊朗和叙利亚之间的关系。自哈马斯10月7日袭击以来，以色列和真主党在以色列-黎巴嫩边界上的暴力事件显著增加，伊朗支持的民兵组织对美国和以色列在伊拉克的阵地再次发动暴力袭击。据叙利亚人权观察站报道，上周五，以色列在叙利亚的袭击造成53人死亡，其中包括38名士兵和7名真主党成员。监测人员表示，这是自10月以色列-哈马斯战争开始以来，叙利亚军队在以色列袭击中死亡人数最多的一次。
Some saw the strike as a response to a drone, apparently launched from Iraq, which struck a building in a naval base in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat early on Monday morning. But Zahedi would have been on Israel’s assassination list for some time. Israel as a rule does not comment on its assassination strikes, but Iranian media made no attempt to hide the loss of such a senior figure. Last year, Israel killed Sayed Reza Musawi, the IGRC head of logistics in the Levant.
一些人认为这次袭击是对一架显然是从伊拉克发射的无人机的回应，该无人机于周一凌晨袭击了以色列最南部城市埃拉特的一个海军基地的一座建筑。但扎赫迪可能会在以色列的暗杀名单上呆上一段时间。以色列通常不对其暗杀行动发表评论，但伊朗媒体没有试图掩盖这样一位高级人物的损失。去年，以色列杀害了IGRC在黎凡特的后勤负责人赛义德·雷萨·穆萨维。
The US said it was aware of the reports of the attacks on the Iranian diplomatic mission but had no comment to make. The UN said it was very worried by the reports but would comment fully later.
美国表示，它知道伊朗外交使团遭到袭击的报道，但不予置评。联合国表示，它对这些报道感到非常担忧，但稍后将发表全面评论。
The longer-term significance of the incident may lie in Iran regarding the airstrike as an attack on Iranian soil, which would represent an escalation. Tehran is likely to be closely monitoring the US response and for any signs President Joe Biden approved of the attack – or if he was simply notified when it began. The US has classified the al-Quds force as a terrorist force, but US diplomats have been working hard to avoid the Gaza war escalating into a wider conflict directly between Iran and Israel.
这起事件的长期意义可能在于伊朗将空袭视为对伊朗领土的袭击，这将代表事态升级。德黑兰可能会密切关注美国的反应，以及乔·拜登总统批准袭击的任何迹象，或者只是在袭击开始时通知了他。美国已将圣城部队列为恐怖部队，但美国外交官一直在努力避免加沙战争升级为伊朗和以色列之间更广泛的直接冲突。
It seems, Israel has evil designs of widening the Middle-East conflict and trying to involve Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and some other nations in the region. It is also obvious that the US is backing Israel in implementation of such ill-motives. The recent supply of lethal Weapons to Israel is unnecessary, irrational and blind support may lead such disasters. The Israeli military might is posing a global threat to peace and stability. Even, the Israel has become so strong that it denies to implement the decisions of UNSC and ICJ.
以色列似乎有扩大中东冲突的邪恶意图，并试图让黎巴嫩、叙利亚、伊朗和该地区的其他一些国家参与进来。同样显而易见的是，美国支持以色列实施这种不良动机。最近向以色列提供致命武器是不必要的，不合理和盲目的支持可能导致这种灾难。以色列的军事力量正在对和平与稳定构成全球威胁。甚至，以色列变得如此强大，以至于否认执行联合国安理会和国际法院的决定。
The scenario ahead is scaring, as Israel is leading toward Third World War (WWIII). The availability of lethal weapons and weapons of mass destruction, can erase the huge population of the world and magnitude of disaster can be imagined. All peace-loving nations, organizations, and individuals, must react to Israeli aggressions and over ambitiousness.
随着以色列走向第三次世界大战（第二次世界大战），未来的情况令人恐惧。致命武器和大规模毁灭性武器的可用性，可以抹杀世界上庞大的人口，灾难的规模可想而知。所有爱好和平的国家、组织和个人都必须对以色列的侵略和过度野心作出反应。
