āCountries claiming to be fighting terror silent on IRGC memberās assassinationā
Later on Sunday, Iranās Foreign Ministry spokesman strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Tehran, which claimed the life of the IRGC member, condoling with his family and his friends in the force.
āThe sworn enemies of the sacred establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran once again revealed their evil nature through the assassination and martyrdom of an IRGC member,ā he said.
Khatibzadeh added, āThis inhuman crime is committed by the terrorist agents that are affiliated with the global arrogance while those countries that claim to be fighting terrorism are regrettably silent and support it.ā
He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been a victim of terrorist attacks during more than four past decades.
Khatibzadeh said terrorists think that they can impede the forward march of the āgreat nation of Iran toward achievement of its sublime ideals … but the blood of these martyrs guaranteesĀ the survival and progress of this nation and country.ā
