Iran condemns terrorist bombings in Iraq

Iran strongly condemned the recent terrorist bombings in Iraq which killed and injured many civilians. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said the bomb attacks in Baghdad and several other Iraqi cities have targeted independence, peace, stability, and peace in Iraq. "The Islamic Republic voices its all-out support for the government of Iraq [in its effort] to adopt suitable mechanisms for preventing such terrorist and inhuman acts," local media quoted the Iranian foreign ministry presser as saying. On Tuesday, at least, 50 people were killed and over 230 others injured in bomb explosions in several Iraqi cities and towns ahead of the upcoming Arab League summit in the capital Baghdad. In Karbala, two roadside bomb blasts ripped through the holy Shiite city, killing over a dozen people, including at least six Iranian pilgrims. Meanwhile, a car bomb detonated in a parking lot in front of the foreign ministry in Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone
