In condemnation of Vienna attacks, Iran says terrorism knows no boundaries
Iran has censured the recent terrorist attacks in the Austrian capital of Vienna, where four people were killed.
“Terrorism is condemned in any form and the deplorable incident in Vienna reveals once again that terrorism and extremism know no boundaries,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a statement on Tuesday.
He added that the replacement of rationalism with the promotion of hate and provocation would create a vicious cycle that “only prepares the ground for the spread of radical and violent tendencies.”
Khatibzadeh stressed the importance of boosting cooperation within the international community to uproot terrorism. "The Islamic Republic of Iran will always be part of these efforts [to fight terrorism]."
Gunmen opened fire in six different locations in central Vienna on Monday. Vienna’s police chief said at a news conference on Tuesday that two men and a woman died in the incident. Broadcaster ORF later reported that a fourth victim, a woman, had also died.
According to a Health Association source, 17 people were also wounded.
