South Korea's foreign ministry on Thursday strongly condemned deadly bomb explosions in the Iranian city of Kerman during a memorial ceremony for a former Iranian general. "Our government strongly condemns the bomb attacks that took place in Kerman, Iran, on Jan. 3, and expresses our deep regrets for the death of approximately 100 people and numerous injuries," the ministry's spokesperson, Lim Soo-suk, said in a statement. "The government expresses our deep sympathy and condolences to the victims and their families, and hopes for the swift recovery of the injured," he said. The government reaffirms its position that terrorist attacks cannot be justified under any circumstances, he added. At least 95 people were killed Wednesday in Iran's southeastern city of Kerman after two explosions went off near the burial site of Qasem Soleimani during a ceremony to commemorate the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the United States in 2020.
