“As a matter of principle, Iran condemns the violent attack against civilians in Sydney, Australia,” Baqaei wrote on his X account on Sunday
“Terror violence and mass killing shall be condemned, wherever they’re committed, as unlawful and criminal,” he added.
At least 11 people were killed and over two dozen others injured after two gunmen fired on a Jewish holiday event at Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach earlier in the day.
One gunman was also fatally shot by police, and the second, who was arrested, was in critical condition, authorities said.
The police source has been quoted as saying that one of the gunmen was known to the security services, but there had been no specific threat.
