The Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned a deadly bomb attack that struck Damascus on Thursday.
In a statement on Thursday night, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani vehemently condemned the terrorist explosion in the Sayyidah Zaynab region in the suburbs of Damascus on Tasua and during the mourning season for Imam Hussein (AS), which led to the martyrdom and injury of a number of civilians, including women and children.
He also offered condolences to the Syrian government and people as well as the families of the victims, saying, “In a situation where the innocent Syrian people are suffering from the cruel sanctions of the United States and some Western countries, and amid the painful silence of the international community, terrorist groups supported by the Zionist regime and the United States are also committing such heinous crimes.
“Considering the many years of the Syrian government and nation’s battle against terrorism, it is appropriate for the world community and international organizations to take immediate and effective measures to secure a removal of the unilateral and brutal sanctions imposed by the US and the West against Syria and dispatch humanitarian aid to this country, in addition to condemning any aggression against Syria, including the aggressive attacks of the Zionist regime and the recent terrorist blasts in the country,” he added, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.
