TEHRAN (Tasnim) � Iran�s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned a recent terrorist attack that killed several people in Tunisia�s capital.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari also offered condolences to the Tunisian government and nation over the tragic incident.

He further said that such terrorist attacks "have targeted Tunisia�s stability, security, and achievements of its popular revolution."

Jaberi Ansari also hoped that Tunisia�s government and nation would safeguard the aspirations of country�s revolution by maintaining their unity and solidarity.

On Tuesday, a bomb blast ripped through a bus carrying presidential guards on the Mohamed V avenue in Tunis, killing at least 12 people and wounding 16 others.

The attack was likely caused by a bomber detonating explosives inside the vehicle, a presidential source said. No individual or group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing, which marked the first in the capital this year.
