Iran on Saturday called on the international community and forums to condemn terrorist incidents which took place recently across the Islamic Republic.
In a statement, Iranian Foreign Ministry stressed that silence on such attacks strengthens terror in the world.
“In recent days, the noble nation of Iran and the international community witnessed the criminal actions of a group of merciless terrorists against innocent citizens and defenders of the security of Iran in the cities of Izeh, Isfahan and Mashhad. Unfortunately, a number of our dear compatriots, among them innocent women and children, were martyred or injured in these terrorist attacks,” the statement, cited by Mehr news agency read.
“Undoubtedly, the deliberate silence of the foreign promoters of chaos and violence in Iran in the face of the most obvious terrorist operations in several Iranian cities has no consequence other than encouraging the terrorists and strengthening terrorism in the world,” the statement added.
It noted that the attacks are “confirmation of how the enemies and opponents of the Islamic Republic and great nation of Iran hide their criminal nature behind the false mask of compassion for the people and children of this country.”
“In this regard, the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on the standards of international law and in accordance with its laws and regulations, reserves its right to pursue legal and judicial acts of terrorism committed by terrorists and their supporting governments.”
At least seven people were martyred after terrorists opened fire at people and security forces at a crowded market in Izeh in the southwestern province of Khuzestan on Wednesday.
Three people were also martyred and eight security forces were injured during riots in Semirom in the central Iranian province of Isfahan.
