Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pakistan's southwestern city of Quetta, Tasnim news agency reported.

The Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi expressed condolences to the Pakistani government and its people.

He also called for concerted action by the international community to put an end to such barbaric actions.

At least 70 people were killed and more than 100 others wounded in the suicide bomb attack at a hospital in Quetta on Monday.
