Iran’s top leader calls Paris attack ‘blind terrorism’

Iran’s official news agency is quoting the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as calling the recent Paris attacks “blind terrorism.”

The comments, reported by the IRNA news agency, are Khamenei’s first reaction to the attacks, in which extremist jihadists killed 130 people and injured scores of others. The government previously condemned the attacks, immediately after they occurred.

Khamenei says “the bitter events brought about by blind terrorism in France” moved him to issue the statement.
