Baqaei denounced the terrorist attack on worshippers at the Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) Mosque in the Syrian province of Homs, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a group of worshippers.
He expressed his condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims of this incident and prayed to God Almighty for the health and recovery of the injured.
Recalling the principled position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in firmly condemning all forms of terrorism and violent extremism, Baqaei emphasized the responsibility of all parties who, through various illegal interventions, including attacks on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and the occupation of parts of this country, have provided a platform for the continued existence, growth, and spread of terrorism and extremism.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson also called for the identification and punishment of the perpetrators and commanders of this heinous terrorist attack, and noted the responsibility of the Syrian transitional government in this regard.
