Iran strongly condemns terrorist attack in Syria

TEHRAN, Jan. 7 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast strongly condemned the terrorist attack in the Syrian capital Damascus. The Iranian official also sent a message of sympathy to the families of those who were killed or wounded in the brazen blast. On Friday a suicide bomber killed about 25 people and wounded 46 in Damascus, Syria's news agency SANA reported. Mehmanparast said that the blasts are aimed at provoking civil war in Syria, disintegrate the country, and force Damascus to surrender to ‘American-Israelite whims'. However, he insisted that the Syrian government and nation will undoubtedly keep “their solidarity, awareness, and dignity” and “disappoint the enemies”.
