A high-ranking Iranian official on Sunday denied Iranian positions had been hit by Israeli air strikes near the Syrian capital overnight.
"This is a lie and it is not true," Mohsen Rezaie, the secretary of the Expediency Council, told ILNA news agency in response to Israeli claims its air force struck Iranian positions in the war-torn country.
"Israel and America do not have the power to attack various centres of Iran, while the advisory centres that we have, have not been harmed," said Rezaie, a former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
"Actions taken jointly by Israel and America in Syria and Iraq are against international regulations and defenders of Syria and Iraq will soon respond to them."
