In a statement on Sunday evening, Spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baqaei denounced the terrorist attack at the Quetta railway station that resulted in the deaths and injuries of a large number of Pakistani citizens.
Expressing condolences to the families of the victims and wishing a speedy recovery for the injured, Baqaei declared Iran’s solidarity with the government and people of Pakistan.
The spokesman stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the main victims of terrorism and a country that has consistently been on the front line of the fight against terrorism, considers combating the “ominous phenomenon” of terrorism an international responsibility.
He also emphasized the importance of cooperation and coordination among neighboring countries in the continuous fight against terrorist groups and their supporters.
The Balochistan Liberation Army, a separatist group, has claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack in a post on X.
“Such cowardly acts of terrorism cannot weaken the resolve of the people of Pakistan. We remain steadfast in our determination to eliminate terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,” he said.
