Pres. Raeisi vows comeuppance for those involved in terror blasts
President Ebrahim Raeisi reiterates Iran's resolve to consign those behind the recent hugely deadly terror blasts in the country's southwest to justice.
The chief executive made the remarks during a phone call with his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vučić on Thursday.
"No degree of support or patronage from no power can provide a security margin to the agents that have been involved in this atrocity," Raeisi said.
The comments came a day after two back-to-back explosions killed at least 84 people and wounded scores of others at a memorial ceremony that was being held for Iran's former senior anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in the city of Kerman. The Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the atrocity.
Raeisi asserted that cowardly measures such as this would not hold the great Iranian nation back from pursuing its high goals of confronting oppression, tyranny, and injustice.
The Serbian official, for his part, condemned the acts of terror, expressing condolence on the part of the Serbian government and people with the Iranian government and nation.
Vučić expressed hope that the masterminds and perpetrators of the terror attacks be immediately consigned to justice and face the legal implications of the atrocity.
The Serbian president finally noted that his country stood by Iran's side in the fight against terrorism.
Earlier, the United Nations Security Council released a statement, condemning the "cowardly terrorist attack" and condoling with the victims' families and the Iranian government.
Leaders from Russia, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and other countries from across the globe have likewise voiced strong condemnation of the atrocity.
