Hawzah News Agency- the text of the Islamic Propaganda Office's statement is as follows:

In the name of God

Once Again, the vicious enemies of Iran shed the pure blood of unarmed and innocent civilians and revealed their cruelty and malice more than ever.

Undoubtedly, this blind action showed a vivid picture of the evil nature and verbalism of the enemies of the Iranian nation and proved that they have the ideology of ISIS and have been slapped by the Iranian nation; The enemy is afraid of holding the anniversary of the martyrdom of the beloved Martyr General Qassim Soleimani so much that they shed blood of innocent civilians.

The Islamic Propaganda Office strongly condemns this terrorist act and offers its condolences to the holy presence of Hazrat Baqiyyah al-Azam (PBUH) and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and to all the honorable people of Iran as well as the families of these precious martyrs; while demanding decisive punishment of the perpetrators, we ask for the ranks of those noble martyrs from the Almighty God.
