Iran's Foreign Ministry roundly condemned terrorist attacks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Saturday which left at least 50 people dead and scores more wounded.
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham, in a
statement, condemned the terrorist explosions in Iraq, which led to the
martyrdom of "a number of innocent people”, and expressed sympathy with
the victims’ families, Tasnim news agency reported.
She emphasized that the inauspicious phenomenon of terrorism
is a result of some powerful states’ wrong policies in the past and the
continued instrumental use of the issue of terrorism.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman also expressed the
hope that the Iraqi people and government would be able to overcome the inhuman
phenomenon of terrorism through unity and solidarity and by relying on their
national capacities.
The statement came after at least 50 people have been killed
and scores more wounded in a series of bombs in Baghdad.
At least 38 people were killed in two car bombings in
western Baghdad on Saturday night. A third blast caused by a suicide bomber
killed another 12 people and injured 40 others.
