Are you being funny here?
You don’t think everybody has intel spooks (including wet ops) and military incorporated throughout their embassies? Are you joking?
What dastardly military planning were they up to in SYRIA?
If “They were a base for military operations” was a greenlight for bombing embassies, few would be safe.
“Are you being funny here?”
Not at all.
“You don’t think everybody has intel spooks (including wet ops) and military incorporated throughout their embassies?”
I’m sure they do. But you be sure and let me know when the US military is designated as a terrorist organization. The ICRG has been. I’m pretty sure using a consulate as a base to plan terror attacks on civilian targets negates any diplomatic protections it may have. I haven’t had time to look it up yet but I will.
My thinking is that since basing military assets in hospitals removes them from the list of protected places a consulate wouldn’t be any different.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll try to find out later today.
