Iran’s UN envoy denounces deadly attacks in Beirut

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaei, has strongly condemned the deadly bomb blasts near the Iranian Cultural Chancellery in the south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

According to Press TV, Mohammad Khazaei in an address to the UN Security Council on Thursday said that this terrorist act rings loud alarm bells for regional and international stability and security.
The recent acts of terrorism in Lebanon have been carried out to spoil the positive atmosphere which has emerged in the country thanks to the formation of a non-partisan government.
The envoy underlined that the recent chain of terrorist acts aim to sow the seeds of discord among Muslims in the region.
He urged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to spare no effort to stem the fresh tide of violence and extremism.
The attacks happened in Beirut’s southern Bir Hassan neighborhood on Wednesday, killing at least four people.
The al-Qaeda-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades has claimed responsibility for the bombings.
