The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) do not respond to Israel’s attacks on their positions in Syria to avoid further escalation in the crisis-torn country, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, the head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian parliament says
“Israeli Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu has repeatedly said that his country is attacking our positions in Syria. However, one of the reasons why we do not pay attention [to the Israeli attacks] is our unwillingness to have Syria become a war arena [again],” the lawmaker said in an interview.
However, Tehran is ready to give a symmetrical response to any attacks, no matter where they might come from, Falahatpisheh added, answering the question what would be Iran’s response to US potential strikes on the IRGC positions.
