TEHRAN - Swedish officials and diplomats have attended the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Sweden to sign a memorial book in honor of victims of a terror attack that took place in Iran's southeastern province of Kerman on January 3. 

The dignitaries expressed their sympathy with the people and government of Iran and condemned the terrorist attack which took the lives of at least 93 people. They also gave their condolences to Mohammad Ahmadi, the chargé d'affaires of Iran’s embassy in Stockholm.

The Kerman terror attack took place after two explosions ripped through a route leading to the burial site of Iran’s anti-terror icon, General Qassem Soleimani, as people had gathered to mark the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the United States.

The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the blasts.

The flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran was raised at half-mast in Iranian embassies across the world a day after the tragedy. Memorial books have also been opened in several countries.
