Iran tells U.S. to step aside as it prepares response to Israel

Multiple reports indicate that an Israeli air strike in Syria resulted in the death of seven Iranian officials, including two generals, on Monday. The targeted individuals were members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC has vowed a "decisive response" to the air strike. In retaliation, there have been reports of increased threats against Israeli diplomatic missions. The CIA has issued a warning regarding these potential threats. Israeli military forces have placed themselves on high alert in response to the situation. Iranian sources claim that Tehran's response will be calibrated to avoid escalating the conflict further.
