In a message, President Rouhani expressed that magnificent epic of Arbaeen this year was part of the greatness of Hosseini nation that bloodthirsty terrorists could not tolerate and proved their deep frustration and desperation with brutal operations against innocent pilgrims.
The terrorist act, he added, claimed lives of many pilgrims of Arbaeen, including dozens of Iranians; it was heart-rendering to all Muslims mainly the Shia people.

In his message, he prayed for those attained martyrdom in the tragic event and expressed condolences to the bereaved families of the victims.
The Islamic Republic of Iran confident of reaching victory in fight against terrorist groups and their supporters through unity and solidarity, is determined to fight against terrorists and extremists more than ever, Rouhani underlined.
