Iranians have gathered outside Afghanistan's Embassy in Iran in solidarity with the Afghan nation over the recent terrorist raid that killed 20 students in Kabul.
The candlelit vigil held outside the Afghan Embassy in Iran in memory of the Afghan students who lost their lives in Monday’s terrorist attack on Kabul University.
Twenty Afghan students were killed and over 40 others were wounded on Monday after three Daesh terrorists stormed Kabul University. One of the attackers was wearing an explosive vest and blew himself up in the campus. The two others then opened fire at students indiscriminately.
In a gesture of solidarity, Tehran also held this video-mapping on its iconic Azadi Tower. The video projection depicted photos of the victims and projected messages of sympathy with the Afghan nation.
While Daesh terrorists have claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack, Iranians here blame the incident on QUOTE-- the unjustified presence of US troops in Afghanistan. They say American forces have been on the ground in Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting terrorism, but in fact they have been fueling the flames of terrorism.
