TEHRAN- The Iranian parliament speaker has linked the Kerman terrorist attack to the operations of Takfiri groups in the region, the Zionist regime in Gaza, and the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Speaking on Sunday, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asserted that the terrorist attack in Kerman was a manifestation of the cruelty of Iran's enemies, adding that the perpetrators of this heinous act have no regard for the lives of women, children, and civilians when it comes to fulfilling their nefarious agendas.

He characterized the killing of innocent civilians as a "common thread" that runs through the operations of Takfiri groups, the Zionist regime in Gaza, and the U.S. in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries.

Ghalibaf further noted that those who seek to whitewash the crimes of the Zionist regime and the United States have also taken to the cyber realm to undermine the national unity of the Iranian people in the aftermath of the Kerman attack, aiming to weaken the collective resistance against blind terrorism.

"In stark contrast, the Iranian nation has stood united in expressing its condolences to the families of the martyrs and denouncing the perpetrators, effectively thwarting the psychological operations of terror," Ghalibaf emphasized.

The Iranian parliament speaker urged the relevant authorities to implement the order of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution regarding the prompt and just punishment of those responsible for the Kerman attack.
