TEHRAN – Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned a terrorist attack in the southern Afghan province of Helmand in which dozens of people were killed in a car bomb blast.

Expressing condolences to the Afghan government and nation and families of the victims, Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said Iran will stand by Afghanistan in the fight against terrorism, Tasnim reported.

In a world in which terrorism has turned into a business, terrorists have shown that they do not abide by any basic humanitarian principles, he underlined.
