‘Beirut blast Zionist plot against Iran’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry denounces twin terrorist blasts outside the Iranian Embassy in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, saying the move has been plotted and executed by the Zionist agents.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday: “Such measures will only increase the growing isolation of the Zionists, and extremist and terrorist groups among nations and regional and international public opinion.”
The two blasts outside Iran’s diplomatic mission in the southern neighborhood of Janah in Beirut left at least 25 people martyred, including six Iranian nationals, on Tuesday.
Reports say over 150 others were also injured in the terrorist attacks. The death toll is expected to rise, as many of the wounded are in critical condition.
The statement described the bombings as a “heinous crime” and said the terrorist incident once again displayed the image of “violence and extremism” mainly supported by the Zionist regime and ignorant and narrow-minded governments.

The statement added: “This is while they have no correct understanding of the Iranian and Lebanese nations… and their unyielding determination and do not pay attention to the fact that people of the world are exhausted by war, violence and extremism.”
