Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kana’ani strongly condemned a fatal attack outside the consular section of Russia’s Embassy in Kabul, and called on the Taliban government to provide safety to embassies in Afghanistan.
Two Russian embassy workers were among many people killed on Monday in a blast outside the country’s diplomatic mission in the Afghan capital. Daesh Terror group (also known as ISIS or ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing.
Kana’ani on Monday expressed his sympathy with the Russian government and the families of the two victims, as well as those Afghans targeted in the terrorist attack.
He called on the Afghan authorities to take more serious measures to ensure the security of embassies and diplomatic premises in the country.
Despite the Taliban’s assertion that they have brought security to the nation, Afghanistan has seen regular attacks by armed groups, many of them claimed by a Daesh affiliate known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, ISKP (ISIS-K), in recent months.
In Afghanistan, Daesh attacks have resulted in around hunreds of deaths since the Taliban came to power last August, according to the United Nations. The militants have primarily targeted religious and ethnic minorities, as well as schools, mainly with suicide bombings.
Back in late April, Iranian President Seyed Ebrahim Rayeesi warned that the war in Ukraine should not make the international community forget the crisis in Afghanistan.
“The US and NATO presence in Afghanistan meant nothing more than destruction and killing, and it did not provide security for Afghanistan or the region,” Rayeesi said.
The president added that the war in Ukraine must not divert international attention from the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan, the problems facing its people and the large number of refugees leaving the country.
He also warned about a surge in threats against Afghanistan and other regional nations.
Tehran also blamed the terrorist groups and foreign countries which interfered in Afghanistan in recent years for the recent terrorist attacks in the war-torn country.
