Israel will ‘pay price’ for killing of IRGC adviser, says Iran

Israel “will pay the price” for the killing of Sayyed Razi Mousavi, a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in an air attack in Syria, said Iran’s Defence Ministry on Tuesday.

“Our response will be strict and effective, but will not provide room for any Israeli exploitation,” the ministry’s statement said.

Mousavi was a senior adviser in the IRGC, responsible for coordinating the military alliance between Syria and Iran.
