TEHRAN (Sputnik) – Iran also condemned on Friday the Nice attack that killed at least 84 people.
"Iran strongly condemns this attack and expresses condolences to relatives of victims. As we have earlier said, terrorism is an evil; we will not root it out if there is no complex international cooperation. Concessions and double standards in fighting terrorism will lead only to failures," Ghasemi said.
On Thursday night, a truck rammed into a large crowd that was celebrating the Bastille Day in Nice, France. At least 84 people, including children, were killed and dozens of others were injured.
The driver was shot dead by police. According to ID documents found inside the truck, he was a 31-year-old man who was a resident of Nice of Tunisian origin. It is unclear whether he had any accomplices.
