Original Note:
Multiple reliable sources confirm that the destroyed building was an Iranian consulate, not the embassy, which remains intact. Similar to embassies, consular premises are declared inviolable under Article 31 of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. https://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/9_2_1963.pdf https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-68708258 https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-foreign-minister-inaugurates-new-site-consular-services-damascus-2024-04-08/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/01/syria-iran-embassy-strike-israel/
