Iran's Foreign Ministry condemns truck attack
None
Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned the truck attack in New York City that killed eight people and seriously injured at least 11, referring to it as a "terrorist" assault.
That's according to a report Wednesday by the semi-official Fars news agency. It quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi.
Ghasemi said in a statement that "a serious approach coinciding with honesty and transparency of all nations" is the only way to "uproot" terrorism.
Ghasemi also expressed sympathy with the relatives of the "innocent" victims of the attack.
Tensions are high between Iran and the US as President Donald Trump recently refused to re-certify the nuclear deal Tehran struck with world powers.
