Egypt condoles Iran over Shiraz terrorist attack

TEHRAN, Aug. 16 (MNA) – Chairo condemned the recent terrorist attack on the Shah Cheragh holy shrine in Iran's Shiraz.

"Egypt offers its condolences to the government and people of Iran and the families of the victims for this painful tragedy and wishes good health to the injured of this accident," Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Ahmed Abu Zeid wrote on the ministry's social media.

Earlier, some Arab countries, including Iraq, Qatar, UAE, Oman, and Jordan, had condemned the Shah Cheragh terrorist attack.

On Sunday, a terrorist went on a shooting spree at the Shah Cheragh holy shrine, killing at least two people and injuring several others.

The ISIL terrorist group claimed responsibility for the deadly assault.

The Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz was the scene of a similar attack by armed terrorists last year. On October 26, 2022, an armed terrorist barged into the shrine, killing 15 pilgrims, including women and children, and injuring dozens more before he was shot and injured by security forces.

The terrorist later died of his wounds in hospital.
