WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama
condemned two suicide bomb attacks in Iran Wednesday as a
"despicable offense" and said those who carried them out must
be held accountable.
"This is a disgraceful and cowardly act," he said in a
written statement. Obama said the United States stands with the
Iranian people "in the face of this injustice."
"This and other similar acts of terrorism recognize no
religious, political, or national boundaries. The United States
condemns all acts of terrorism wherever they occur," Obama
said.
