Iran has censured powerful explosions at a boys’ high school in a Shia-dominated neighborhood of the Afghan capital, Kabul, urging the country’s officials to identify and punish the perpetrators behind the terrorist attack.

In a Tuesday post on his Twitter account, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh lashed out at Takfiri terrorists for committing another crime in Afghanistan and shedding the blood of innocent teenagers.

The “anti-religion” terrorists, he said, “did not even observe the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan.”

The spokesperson called on Afghan officials to act immediately to identify the perpetrators of the crime and bring them to justice.

At least six people were killed and 25 others were injured after three huge explosions ripped through two educational centers in western Kabul on Tuesday.

Two back-to-back blasts targeted a boys’ high school located in a neighborhood dominated by the Shia Hazarah community in the western part of Kabul. Earlier, another explosion hit a Tuition Center in the same area.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, but analysts believe it bears the hallmarks of the Daesh terrorist group.

The group had claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in Hazara-dominated areas in west Kabul between September and December 2021, which were mainly magnetic bombings targeting civilian vehicles.

However, between 2014 and 2019, the group carried out major bombings against the persecuted Shia Hazara community in Afghanistan.
