Spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nasser Kanaani strongly condemned a terror and savage attack in the Marzeh-Sar border in the Saravan region, which led to the martyrdom of six brave border guards.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that this cowardly act of terrorism, which was perpetrated by evil terrorist groups following the presence of a high-ranking Pakistani delegation headed by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif at the opening ceremony of joint a border bazaar and an electricity transmission project together with the Iranian President at the Pishin border, was a targeted action against the security and interests of the two countries with the aim of preventing the common border to be that of friendship and cooperation and that of economic cooperation for the people of the two countries," he added.

Kanaani said the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the sinister act and expects the Pakistani government to implement the bilateral agreements to suppress terrorist groups as soon as possible and to try to improve the security of the common borders.

Certainly, the objective of these terrorist groups is to disrupt the security of the common borders and the security of the people living in the border regions of the two countries, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, as in the past, emphasizes its efforts to expand security and develop cooperation in the region, the official said.

He offered condolences to the families of the martyrs. He prayed for patience for the bereaved families and lofty divine positions for the martyrs
