Ayatollah Khamenei: Terror Attacks Will Fail to Undermine Iran’s Will

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Wednesday’s terror attacks in Tehran will fail to undermine the Iranian nation’s resolve in the face of threats. 

“The Iranian nation is moving forward. These fireworks that happened today will have no impact on the people’s resolve. They are too weak to affect the will of the Iranian nation and that of the officials,” the Leader said in a meeting with university students in Tehran on Wednesday, several hours after two Daesh terrorist attacks were carried out in the capital.

 The Leader said had Iran not stood against the hotspot of terrorism in the region, the country would have faced more severe problems. 

Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed optimism that terrorists “will be uprooted God willing.”

Earlier on Wednesday, gunmen stormed Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) and the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini in two coordinated attacks, which claimed the lives of 12 people and injured over 40 others.

Rouhani: Iran to Crush Any Enemy Plots Through Unity, Integrity

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has condemned Tehran’s twin terror attacks as “cowardly,” stressing the country will crush enemies’ plots through unity and integrity.

“The Iranian nation … will prove once again that it will crush any plot or scheme by ill-wishers through unity and solidarity and its powerful security structure,” Rouhani said in a message, after 12 people were killed and more than 40 others wounded in twin terror attacks in Tehran on Wednesday.

He said that the terrorist attacks will further strengthen Iran’s resolve to fight terrorism, extremism and violence in the region.

The Iranian president also described terrorism as a global challenge, and underlined that unity to fight extremism, terrorism and violence combined with regional and international cooperation is the most urgent need of the international community today.

He said that Iran’s enemies were irked by the huge turnout of the Iranians in the country’s May 19 elections and therefore recruited and supported Takfiri elements to “cover up their failures in the region, collapse of Islamic values and public dissatisfaction in their countries.”

He also offered condolences to the victims’ families. 

Terrorism grave threat to global security, says Zarif

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also condemned Wednesday’s terror attacks, warning about the rise of terrorism as a serious threat to global security.

Zarif, who was in Turkey for a one-day official visit, denounced the “indiscriminate” terror attacks and said terrorism was threatening the Middle East and the rest of the world.

“Very grave conditions are prevailing in the region” in terms of security, Zarif said at Ankara’s Esenboga Airport.

Tehran’s terror attacks aimed at undermining Iran’s anti-terror fight, says Larijani

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani also condemned the attacks as “cowardly” and said they were meant to undermine Tehran’s anti-terror fight.

“Iran… is an instrumental and effectual pillar of the fight against terrorism,” he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, gunmen stormed Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) and the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini in two coordinated attacks claimed by the DaeshTakfiri terrorist group.
