On October 28, the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon sent a telegram of condolences to the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Sayyid Ebrahim Raisi.

“In connection with the brutal attack on the Shahcherogh temple in Shiraz, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of peaceful people, I express my deep condolences to you and all the relatives and loved ones of the deceased, wishing you patience and resilience,” the telegram states.

The president’s press service reports that the president wished forgiveness for the deceased and a speedy full recovery for the injured.

“While we firmly condemn this terrorist act, we emphasize the need for a consistent strengthening of the joint relentless fight against all manifestations of terrorism and extremism,” the president emphasized.

Although the President of Tajikistan condemned this attack, earlier on September 30 of this year, a much more serious attack by the forces of the Islamic Republic occurred against worshippers in the city of Zahedan, resulting in the deaths of about 100 people and injuries to more than 300 people, to which the President of Tajikistan said nothing.

Iranian authorities reported that the number of victims in the incident at the Shahcherogh mausoleum in Shiraz is about 35 people. Meanwhile, ISIS, which claimed responsibility for this attack, emphasizes that more than 60 people were killed and injured in it.
