Pakistan strongly condemned the reprehensible terrorist attack at the Martyrs Cemetery in Kerman, Iran, which resulted in a significant number of casualties and injuries.
Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch conveyed heartfelt condolences to the victims' families and expressed hopes for the speedy recovery of the injured, emphasizing Pakistan's unwavering solidarity with Iran during this tragic time.
In an official statement, the FO reiterated Pakistan's firm stance against terrorism as a grave threat to regional and global peace and security.
Emphasizing the need for concerted efforts, it underlined the importance of addressing terrorism through collaborative initiatives at both bilateral and regional levels.
The death toll from the consecutive bombings at the tomb of Iranian Revolutionary Guards general Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone attack in 2020, has surged to 103, with nearly 200 people reported injured in the twin terror attacks.
The explosions occurred during a ceremony in Kerman, where hundreds had gathered to commemorate the anniversary of Soleimani's death.
Iranian state television reported the tragic incident, describing the first and then a second explosion during the solemn ceremony.
