In a statement on Friday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi strongly denounced the terrorist incident in the French capital, Paris, and sympathized with French people.
He said the West’s support for “criminal terrorists” and its double-standard policies in dealing with the issue of terrorism have emboldened the terrorists to launch another strike at the heart of Europe.
He reiterated that terrorism is the most immediate threat to global peace, stability and security, and can be eradicated only through the common understanding and firm resolve of the international community.
