Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack on pilgrims returning from Iraq’s Karbala in central Afghanistan. The attack occurred in a region between the Daikundi and Ghor provinces, where ISIS claimed responsibility for the tragic event.
In a statement issued on Friday, Kanaani offered heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wished a swift recovery to the injured. He also called on authorities to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.
Reports have confirmed that 14 people lost their lives in the attack, with four others sustaining injuries. The militants reportedly stopped a bus of locals under the pretext of taking photos of pilgrims before carrying out the heinous act.
Such violent incidents serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorist organizations in the region. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones during this difficult time.
