Tactical use of terror attacks strategic mistake: Larijani

While offering condolences over the recent terror attacks in Saudi Arabia, Iran’s parliament speaker warned against the tactical manipulation of such incidents.

“We have on multiple occasions warned the countries in the region that the tactical use of terrorism is a strategic mistake,” said Ali Larijani (seen below) while addressing the Iranian parliament on Tuesday.

He further stressed that such policies will only create other problems in the region in the future.

Larijnai also expressed regret that the terrorist attacks were carried out next to the Prophet's Mosque in Saudi Arabia.

Condemning the attacks, he noted that much more attention must be paid to terrorist activities in the region.

On Monday, the Saudi Arabian cites of Medina, Qatif, and Jeddah were targeted in a series of attacks. Several security guards were killed when a terrorist detonated his explosives near the security headquarters of the Prophet's Mosque in the western city of Medina.
