The Iranian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Iraq, sympathizing with the families of the victims.

At least 91 people, including security forces, were killed in bomb attacks and shootings carried out in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, the northern city of Kirkuk and several other towns on Monday.

Iraqi security and medical sources said a total of more than 170 people were injured in the blasts.
