John Kerry is calling the attacks against the Iranian embassy in Lebanon today “terrorist bombings.” And the U.S. secretary of state is condeming the action.
“The United States strongly condemns today’s senseless and despicable terrorist bombings at the Iranian Embassy in Beirut. We extend our condolences to the victims and their families. We urge all parties to exercise calm and restraint to avoid inflaming the situation further. The United States knows too well the cost of terrorism directed at our own diplomats around the world, and our hearts go out to the Iranian people after this violent and unjustifiable attack claimed the life of at least one of their diplomats,” Kerry says in a press release from the State Department today.
