Critical incident in the Middle East: According to information from Iran, a senior general of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Syria.
General Sayyed Razi Mousavi was killed in an attack by the “Zionist regime” in a southern suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus, Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported on Monday. Mousavi was “one of the most experienced advisors” to the Quds Force in Syria, the report said.
Close Hamas ally
The Al-Quds Brigades are part of the branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards responsible for foreign operations. Iran is a close ally of the radical Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas, whose unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7 sparked the Gaza war.
Israel is fighting the Iranian presence in Syria
Since the start of the war against Hamas, Israel has intensified airstrikes in Syria. Israel declined to comment on Monday on news of Mousavi’s death; In general, the country hardly comments on individual attacks in Syria. However, the Israeli government repeatedly emphasizes that it will not allow its arch-enemy Iran to expand its presence in Syria.
Rapprochement between Iran and Egypt
Politically, Iran hopes to soon resume diplomatic relations with Egypt after more than forty years of glaciation. “The two countries are well on the way to putting their differences behind them and opening a new diplomatic chapter soon,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Monday. Resumption of relations would benefit not only the two states, but the entire Islamic world and especially the Palestinians in the Gaza conflict.
