Rouhani to Beirut Blast Terrorists: Your Actions Not to Guarantee Goals

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemned on Wednesday the double blast that rocked the Beirut neighborhood of Bir Hassan, stating that whomever thinks terrorism achieves its goals “is mistaken.”

“Those who believe through terrorism and assassinations and violence can achieve their goals are mistaken,” Rouhani said at a meeting of the Iranian cabinet.
He added: “This time again they are committing a mistake.”
“We must say to the attackers that the people of the region have adopted a united stand of solidarity and resilience in front of aggressions and we will not abandon this path,” Rouhani confirmed.

In parallel, the Iranian leader continued: “It appears that regimes that could not deliver their intended messages through other means, and that could not get anyone to listen to them ware seeking this through terrorism, violence and fear.”
Rouhani offered his condolences to the families of the victims and to the relatives of Iranian embassy’s cultural adviser Sheikh Ibrahim al-Ansari.

At least 23 people were martyred and more than 145 others were wounded in a twin blast that took place on Tuesday morning near the Iranian Embassy in the neighborhood of Bir Hassan in Beirut.

For its part, the Iranian Foreign Ministry denounced the twin terrorist blasts, saying the move has been plotted and executed by the Zionist agents.

“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 Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
