RNA - Thanks to the regional nations’ vigilance, terrorism would backfire on its supporters, instigators and perpetrators in the future and these ill-advised acts of hatred would not bring about any positive result for the ISIL vampires, Qassemi said.

He underlined that such terrorist attacks will make the Iranian government and people more resolved than ever to seriously fight against terrorism.

Qassemi made the remarks on the occasion of funeral procession of the Iranian pilgrims martyred in Iraq on November 24.

On November 26, the bodies of tens of Iranian pilgrims who were martyred in the terrorist attack in Iraq were transferred home.

A terrorist attack on 24 November 2016 at a gas station on a highway 100 km South of Baghdad, Iraq, killed and injured more than 150 people, most of them Iranian pilgrims on route back from a religious gathering in the city of Karbala.

The ISIL claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack.
