Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif denounced a terror attack that targeted Iran’s strategic port city of Chabahar, vowing to bring the perpetrators and “their masters” to justice.
The top diplomat took to his Twitter page on Thursday to react to the car bomb attack, which he said was perpetrated by “foreign-backed terrorists”.
Earlier in the day, a vehicle laden with explosives went off close to a police headquarters in Chabahar, situated in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
The terrorist behind the wheel was seeking to force his way past the police checkpoint, but failed to do so as local security forces quickly intervened.
At least two police officers lost their lives and about 40 other people sustained injuries in the explosion, which also killed the bomber.
