(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Iran has lashed out at certain countries for supporting terrorist groups, saying the assassination of Iranian researchers is a terrorist move masterminded by the Zionists.
“Support for terrorism is a Zionist-led move with the purpose of hampering scientific and industrial progress of the Iranian nation,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters at his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
He added that terrorist groups assassinated Iranian researchers when sanctions failed to prevent the country from making progress.
The spokesperson warned that countries which help terrorist groups to conduct their acts of terror are wrong and urged them to stop their support.
Mehmanparast called on all countries in the world to adopt a collective measure to eradicate the roots of terrorism.
On Saturday, unknown gunmen targeted Iranian university student Daryoush Rezaienejad, 35, and his wife who were on their way to their child's kindergarten. The gunmen called Rezaienejad by name and shot his neck when he turned around.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the Saturday attack.
