AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has said that the country’s security forces are gathering information regarding the perpetrators of the Kerman terror blasts that killed 89 people on Wednesday.
“Our security forces are assessing details and completing information regarding the organizers of the attacks and those who carried them out”, Amirabdollahian said on Friday as he spoke with his Sri Lankan counterpart Ali Sabry on the phone.
The top Iranian diplomat also emphasized the need for the international community to combat terrorism seriously.
Sabry, on his part, strongly condemned Kerman’s terrorist attacks and expressed the sympathy and sadness of the Sri Lankan people and government over the tragedy.
He said that Sri Lanka stands with the people and government of Iran.
In a separate phone talk, Qatar’s Foreign Minister and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani also extended his condolences to Amirabdollahian over the deadly attacks.
Amirabdollahian and Sheikh Al Thani also discussed the Gaza war as well as the security situation in the Red Sea in the wake of Yemeni attacks on shipping in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The two, among other things, also discussed the negative impacts of the Israeli regime’s assassination of top Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri on the ongoing negotiations over the Gaza war.
Al-Arouri was killed on January 2 in an Israeli drone attack on Hamas’ office in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
