“The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in line with humanitarian actions, declares its readiness to send medical and pharmaceutical aid and to treat the injured ones and provide other necessary medical assistance. We hope that the cause of this incident will be found as soon as possible and peace will return to this city,” President Rouhani added.
