The Iranian Embassy in Yerevan will open a condolence book from 10 am to pm on Friday, January 5, after deadly blasts in the city of Kerman that claimed dozens of lives.
The Embassy has lowered the flag to half-mast in respect to the victims of the tragedy.
According to latest updates, at least 84 people were killed and 284 were injured on Wednesday when two bomb blasts went off ten minutes apart near the burial site of Iran’s top commander General Qassem Soleimani in Kerman, where a large crowd of people had gathered to mark the fourth anniversary of his death.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed the “terrorist attack” would be met with a “harsh response”.
There were no immediate claims from any groups for what is believed to have been the deadliest such attack in Iran in 42 years.
Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has announced that Iran is taking “immediate legal and international actions” through the United Nations over the terror attacks in Kerman that left dozens of people dead.
“Based on preliminary information from official sources, this ministry has initiated immediate legal and international actions through the United Nations regarding the terrorist attack in Kerman,” Amirabdollahian said in a statement posted on X on Thursday.
