While condemning the blast in southeastern province of the Islamic Republic of Iran, an Indian leader Monday said: “US and Israel are behind the blast in the country.

In an exclusive interview with the Islamic republic news agency, Soaib Iqbal, Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), Delhi Assembly said: “The blast in southeastern Iran was in revenge for the defeat tasted by Israel, US and its allies on several fronts against the Islamic Republic”.

“My heart goes out to the people and the families in Iran who have lost their lives,” he said. Adding that powerful Iran will fight this spectre of terror.

“I condemn in the strongest terms the attack took place in the city of Pishin near the border with Pakistan in Sistan and Balouchestan province, killing 29 people including top commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and tribal leaders”, said Shoaib.

The suicide attack, when IRGC officers were preparing for a meeting with local tribal leaders of Shiite and Sunni communities, is unjustifiable, the Indian leader said. Adding that this is a terrible tragedy and a dirty strategy adopted by anti Iran forces, to sabotage its ( Iran’s) efforts to establish unity among Muslim Ummah and to destabilize the country, he added.

“This is a heinous crime committed against a peace loving country which had been working tirelessly, to assist the oppressed people of the world especially Palestinians, to unite muslims, and to establish peace around the globe”, Shoaib concluded.
