Iran Press/ Iran News: "Please accept my sincere condolences on the tragic consequences of the terrorist act in Shiraz. It is hard to imagine a more cynical crime than the killing of civilians, including children and women, inside the walls of a religious shrine. We have once again seen that terrorism violates not only laws but also human morals," Vladimir Putin's message to Ebrahim Raisi reads.
According to the state Russian news agency TASS, the Russian president also confirmed Moscow's readiness to further boost cooperation with Tehran on counter-terrorism issues.
Putin also asked to convey words of sympathy and support to the families of the dead, as well as wishes for a speedy recovery to all the wounded.
Fifteen pilgrims lost their lives and at least 40 others were wounded after an armed terrorist opened indiscriminate fire at Shah Cheragh, a highly revered Shia shrine in the southwestern city of Shiraz, Fars Province, on Wednesday.
