In a statement on Sunday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi expressed sympathy with the American people, particularly the families of the victims of the ‘heinous crimes’, and wished speedy recovery for those wounded in the tragic incidents.
Within 13 hours on Saturday and Sunday, at least 29 people were killed in mass shootings in the US cities of El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
