Expediency Council official calls for punishment of terrorists supporters

There will be no peace in the world until punishment of countries which support terrorism, Rezaei added.

He referred to death of several people in terrorist explosions in Kabul, Baghdad and Manchester in the past days and also death of thousands of people in other terrorist attacks in Germany, UK and France in previous months and expressed concern about spread of terrorism in the world.

“Fighting terrorism needs an honest approach and an international commitment,” Rezaei added.

A huge explosion rocked Kabul's diplomatic area on Wednesday killing at least 100 and injuring 400 others. The blast took place near one of the national security offices and close to foreign embassies.

The explosion, later claimed by the Daesh (ISIS) terrorist group, was so powerful that the windows of the nearby buildings or those that were one km farther than the site of the blast have been broken.

The blast also shattered windows of the representative office of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) located 500 meters from the site of the incident and happened 200 meters from Iran’s embassy in Kabul. The building was severely hit and the residence of Iran's ambassador was badly damaged.
