Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh lambasted the terrorist attack by Takfiri elements on a gathering of the people of Herat in the recreational area of Jibril town, which killed and injured a large number of citizens.

The diplomat stressed the need for the interim government of the Taliban to take responsibility for the security of citizens and to increase care and intensify measures to protect the people, especially vulnerable ethnic and religious groups.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran is confident that the Muslim brothers and sisters in Afghanistan will thwart the divisive conspiracies of their enemies with empathy, solidarity and cooperation," Khatibzadeh highlighted.
A bomb blast near the western Afghan city of Jibril has killed at least four people and injured 25 others on Friday night.
