Iran condemns terrorist attacks in Pakistan’s Balochistan

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kana'ani

Iran has condemned terrorist attacks in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan.

Terrorists killed at least 39 people in several attacks on Monday. The terrorist group called the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attacks.

On Tuesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kana'ani strongly condemned the attacks, which led to the death of police officers and civilians.

The spokesman offered condolences to the bereaved and expressed sympathy with the Pakistani government and nation.

“The Islamic Republic opposes and condemns terrorism of any kind and stands by the government and people of neighboring and brotherly country Pakistan in the fighting against this evil phenomenon.”

The Iranian official also offered condolences to the government of Bangladesh on the massive flooding there, which has been unprecedented in decades.

The Iranian spokesman said the government and people of Iran stand by the Bangladeshi nation during these hard times.

Bangladeshi officials say at least 20 people have died in the flooding.

The natural disaster was caused by the ongoing monsoon in the southeast, which has affected more than 5 million people, including virtually 2 million children.

Climate experts said this year's flooding was not recorded in Bangladesh in 40 years.
