The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean strongly condemns the bombing in Lebanon, which devastated the Iranian Embassy area in the capital Beirut.

It is absolutely not tolerable that such acts of violence and terrorism take place and it is even more worrying that innocent civilians are targeted.

The Parliamentary Assembly calls on all institutions, in particular the parliamentarians, to support and facilitate the investigations in order to bring to justice expeditiously those responsible for the death of the Iranian diplomat and the injured victims.

PAM expresses its condolences to all the victims and their families and augurs that the security forces manage to prevent further acts of terrorism, aimed solely at destabilizing the country and the region in general.
