Where is Damascus? Unless that’s in Iran, directly attacking Israel the first time seems like an escalation to me…

Embassies and consulates are regarded as territory of the country they represent, hence why people can seek asylum in them. I have been to Damascus (and Aleppo, and through Iran a couple of times, and Lebanon).

in retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic complex in Syria

Not sure what relevance the rest is.

Agree, the dispute over which was it's use militarily. Israel escalated in that attack, and Iran escalated further in it's response by directly attacking a sovereign state. Cool that you've been to the middle east.

I'm honestly confused by the rest of your comment. Including the need to mention your travels.

It's as irrelevant as the rest of the stuff you posted, like this:

Over the past months, American officials have urged Beijing to use its leverage over Iran to help prevent a regionwide conflict. China has been Iran’s biggest trading partner for the past decade and buys 90% of Iran’s oil exports.

This criticism seems pedantic considering the "rest" of the quote. I'm pretty over this discussion.

Have a good day!
