Iran slams terrorist attack in Syria

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has slammed the recent terrorist attack in the Syrian capital of Damascus that claimed the lives of 26 people.

With unity, vigilance and courage, the Syrian nation and government will surely disappoint their enemies who seek civil war and disintegration in the country and want the Syrian nation to surrender to the US-zionist will, Mehmanparast said in a statement on Friday.

At least 26 people were killed and more than 60 others were injured in a terrorist bomb attack in Damascus on Friday.

Most of the victims were reported to be civilians, but some security personnel were also among the casualties. Authorities say that the toll could increase since some of the injured are in critical condition.

This is the second such incident in Damascus in the past two weeks.

On December 23, two bombings killed at least 44 people outside the Syrian intelligence buildings.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both in favor of and against the country’s President Bashar al-Assad.

Damascus blames “outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, saying it is being orchestrated from abroad.
