Lebanese President Michel Aoun has sent a cable of condolences to his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani over the victims of an attack on a military parade that killed 29 people and wounded dozens in Ahvaz.
“This terrorist crime proves that terrorism is an epidemic... and that religion is innocent of it. We in Lebanon have suffered from it and paid hefty prices,” Aoun said in the cable.
“As I share your pain, I extend my warmest condolences to you in person and through you to your people,” the president added.
Ahvaz lies in Khuzestan, a province bordering Iraq that also has ethnic Arab community and has seen separatist violence in the past that Iran has blamed on its regional rivals.
