  • Iran terrorist attack: Condemnations pour in as Gen. Soleimani commemorated on 4th assassination anniversary

Heads of state and leaders of resistance groups in the region have offered condolences to Iran over the twin deadly blasts that rocked the country's southeastern city of Kerman on Wednesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered deep condolences to Iran’s leadership over the tragic incident.

Putin condemned "terrorism in all its forms" and said the attack on peaceful people was "shocking in its cruelty and cynicism."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also offered condolences to the “friendly and brotherly” people of Iran over the “heinous terror attack.”

"We are deeply saddened by the heinous terrorist attacks carried out in the Kerman province of Iran. I wish God's mercy to those who lost their lives in the attacks and a speedy recovery to those who were injured," Erdogan said on X.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement also condemned the “cowardly attack.”

“Such an evil attack against the innocent people will increase cohesion among the Islamic Ummah and their adherence to the resistance, of which martyr Soleimani will always be one of the symbols.”

The political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement also strongly condemned the attack, which it called “criminal.”

The movement said the incident was part of enemies' attempts to undermine Iran's role in the anti-arrogance movement and weaken its support for the cause of the Islamic Ummah and the resistance.

Ansarullah stressed that Iran is stronger than all the conspiracies hatched against it and that efforts of the US and the Zionist regime to foment insecurity in Iran will be thwarted with the help of God Almighty.

Seyyed Ammar Hakim, the leader of Iraq's National Wisdom Movement, strongly condemned the terror attack and offered his deepest sympathies to the Iranian people.

He also urged the international community to join hands to combat terrorism to promote stability and security worldwide.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi government also said it condemns the terrorist attack and offered any help needed "to alleviate the impact of this cowardly criminal act."

Azerbaijan also condemned the attack and offered sympathies to the bereaved families of victims.

“As a country deeply suffered from terrorism, Azerbaijan condemns all its forms & manifestations,” the country’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on its X account.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani also strongly condemned the terrorist blasts.

“Pakistan strongly condemns the inhuman terrorist attacks in Kerman, that claimed several innocent lives. Sincere condolences to Gov. & people of Iran. Our heart goes out to families of victims. We stand in solidarity with Iran at this hour of grief."
