A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs described this terrorist law and the murder of innocent people as a criminal act that contradicts all Islamic principles and legal and humanitarian norms.
Baghey also ensured that related security and judicial authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran will identify the perpetrators and agitators of the crime and will not spare efforts to bring them to justice.
Condemning all forms of terrorism, Baghey has highlighted the need to stand up to this sinister phenomenon at the national and regional level, and has announced Iran’s preparations to strengthen cooperation and coordination in this area.
The Iranian embassy in Islamabad has slammed the “co-ill-inhuman attacks” that have killed eight Pakistani citizens in Sistan and Balchestan provinces in southeastern Iran.
Terrorism is a general threat to the entire region after “dangerous elements” supported by international terrorism disrupt peace and security, the embassy said in a statement Sunday.
It added that every country needs to participate in efforts to eradicate terrorism and extremism in all forms that have taken the lives of thousands of people in the past decades.
Eight Pakistani nationals were reportedly killed on Saturday after an unidentified gunman attacked a workshop where he worked in a village in Sistan and Balshestan province.
According to IRNA correspondents in Islamabad, the spokesman for Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said the country has contacted Iranian officials and is waiting for details of the incident.
