Iran has strongly condemned the terrorist bombing in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
At least 53 people were injured in a powerful explosion that rocked the southern Bir al-Abed suburb of Beirut on Tuesday, causing heavy damage. Several cars and buildings were on fire in the wake of the blast.
Iran Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Araqchi said the move was an “ominous conspiracy” plotted by the Israeli regime and its allies in the region.
He expressed hope that the Lebanese officials would identify the perpetrators of the terrorist act to prevent those who seek to provoke insecurity and instability and cause sectarian strife in the country from achieving their goals.
The Iranian spokesperson pointed out, “Such terrorist measures will fail to deter the resistance movement and Lebanese people from … fighting against the occupying regime [of Israel]”.
