TEHRAN, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry on Sunday strongly condemned a deadly bomb attack on a wedding ceremony in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, saying it was "inhuman," local media reported.
"Carrying out such a terrorist act in a wedding ceremony and the killing of defenseless people and civilians once again clearly display the ominous and inhuman goals of terrorism," state Press TV quoted Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi as saying.
At least 50 people were killed and 94 wounded when a blast hit the outdoor wedding celebration on Saturday night.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said the attack was likely carried out by the Islamic States (IS) terrorists.
