Tehran Times Political Desk

TEHRAN -– In separate messages to the Iraqi president, prime minister, and parliament speaker, Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has said that the terrorists, involved in the recent attacks in Baghdad, have aimed at disturbing its peace and stability.

Larijani added that the recent terror acts in Iraq showed the real face of the enemies and the so-called upholders of democracy, the Majlis media office reported.

Those who commit such crimes are intending to undermine the determination of the Iraqis to build a united, free, and Islamic Iraq, Larijani emphasized.

Some 150 people were killed and over 700 injured in two bomb attacks in Baghdad on Sunday.

The blasts hit Iraq’s Ministry of Justice and a provincial government office, the Iraqi police said. Smoke billowed from the area near the Tigris River after two vehicles packed with explosives blew up just outside the Green Zone.

It was the deadliest attack in Iraq since August 2007, when truck bombs hit two ministry compounds and killed over 100 people
