Iran has condemned the "violent" attack on a Jewish event in Sydney, Australia, which killed at least 12 people and injured dozens of others.
"As a matter of principle, Iran condemns the violent attack against civilians in Sydney, Australia," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said in a post on his X account on Sunday.
"Terror violence and mass killing shall be condemned, wherever they`re committed, as unlawful and criminal," he added.
Baghaei`s post came hours after two gunmen opened fire at a Jewish event in the Australian city of Sydney.
Authorities said police fatally shot one gunman, and the second was arrested and is in critical condition.
At least 29 people were confirmed wounded, including two police officers, said Mal Lanyon, the police commissioner for New South Wales state, to which Sydney is the capital.
