AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a message, while condemning the cowardly act of terrorism in the Baluchistan region of Pakistan, the President stated, "This indiscriminate action once again showed that the terrorists, with their ignorance and distance from the merciful teachings of Islam, have no other goal than to sow discord among Muslims, which of course will fail to achieve their illegitimate and inhumane goals this time".
In a message, Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi expressed his sympathy with the government and people of Pakistan following the terrorist explosion in the Baluchistan region of this country, which resulted in the death and injury of a number of innocent citizens.
President's message is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
His Excellency Mr Arif Alvi,
Honourable President of Pakistan,
The cowardly terrorist explosion at the birthday celebration of the Prophet (PBUH) in the Baluchistan region of that country, which led to the death and injury of a number of innocent citizens, caused great grief and sorrow.
While condemning this terrorist, anti-religious and anti-human act, I express my sympathy and condolences to Your Excellency and the Muslim nation of Pakistan, and I pray for the victims of the accident and a speedy recovery for the injured.
This indiscriminate action once again showed that the terrorists, with their ignorance and distance from the merciful teachings of Islam, have no other goal than to sow discord among Muslims, which of course will fail to achieve their illegitimate and inhumane goals this time
I hope the perpetrators of this crime will be identified and punished for their shameful act as soon as possible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is resolutely ready to cooperate with that country to fight against any manifestations of terrorism and extremism and calls on the international community, especially Islamic countries, to seriously react to this criminal act and prevent the repetition of such tragic events.
Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
