Mr. Bahram Ghasemi offered condolences to the Syrian government and people and also families of Iraqi victims killed and injured during two consecutive attacks which hit the pilgrims.
“Indiscriminate and blind targeting of the innocent civilians including children and women indicates that terrorists are on the verge of frustration and helplessness and a way to find some relief from their many defeats on the ground in Syria and Iraq,” said Ghasemi.
“Their supporters in the region know well that the military front of the proxies had humiliatingly been crushed; for the very reason, they resort to suicide bombings through misguided means to impede the peace process and stability in Syria,” he concluded.
