Iran condemns deadly bombing in Pakistan, stresses regional unity to fight terror
Iran has condemned a deadly terrorist bombing at a religious seminary in northwestern Pakistan.
At least six people, including a prominent religious-political leader, were killed and 16 others injured, in the attack during Friday prayers at Darul Uloom Haqqania, located in the Akora Khattak area of Nowshera district.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Friday extended his condolences to the bereaved and the Pakistani government.
He hoped for a swift recovery for all the injured.
Baghaei affirmed Iran’s principled stance on opposing all forms of terrorism and violent extremism.
He said preventing and combating terrorism require cooperation among all regional countries and continuous fight against its perpetrators, organizers, supporters and financial backers.
The Taliban surged back to power in Afghanistan in August 2021 after US-led foreign forces withdrew and the former government collapsed.
Islamabad accuses Kabul’s rulers of failing to root out militants sheltering on Afghan soil as they prepare to stage assaults on Pakistan, a charge the Taliban government denies.
Data indicates a rise in attacks and fatalities, particularly in Pakistan’s restive northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and southwestern province of Balochistan, both of which border Afghanistan.
Over the past years, militants have been involved in multiple terrorist attacks, including targeted bombings and killing of members of religious communities and security officials nationwide.
