Turkey has condemned terror attacks that killed at least seven and injured dozens in Iran on June 7, as Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif is scheduled to pay a visit to Ankara.

“We condemn these heinous attacks, wish Allah’s mercy upon those who lost their lives and convey our condolences to the people of Iran, particularly to the relatives of those who lost their lives, as well as the government of Iran, and wish a speedy recovery to the injured,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on June 7. 

“We are saddened to learn that the Iran Islamic Consultative Assembly and Imam Khomeini Mausoleum in Tehran have come under terrorist attacks this morning and there are people who lost their lives or injured as a result of these attacks,” it added. 

Zarif will meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
