Iranian President slammed as an aggression the US strikes on Syrian airbase of Shayrat, saying such attack strengthens terror in the world.

On his Twitter account, the Iranian president said the US attack on Syria must be condemned.

“US aggression against Shayrat strengthens regional extremism and terror, and global lawlessness and instability, and must be condemned,” Rouhani tweeted late on Friday.

In this regard, he urged countries across the world to reject such policies “which bring only destruction and danger to the region and the globe.”

The United States has launched on Friday morning dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles at an airbase in Syria, the Pentagon said, claiming that the attack was in response to o this week’s alleged chemical attack in Idlib’s Khan Sheikhoun that it has blamed on the Syrian government.

On the other hand, Rouhani voices sympathy with victims of Khan Sheikhoun, calling for a probe into the incident.

“The tragedy of Khan Sheikhoun is horrifying & must be condemned. It reminds Iranians, victim of CW for yrs, the attacks in Sardasht,” the Iranian president said, referring to the 1987 chemical attack by Iraq on Iran’s Sardasht.
