Montazeri added, "To help the passengers who suffered physical and mental injuries from this terrorist incident, as well as other damages and to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents, a complaint should be filed and the necessary measures should be taken and the issue should be followed up until a result is achieved. In this regard, the Prosecutor-General's Office is involved in the matter and declares its readiness for any cooperation."
