IRNA – Iranian Government spokesperson sympathized with the people of Myanmar and said that the Myanmar government and army are responsible for the 'sorrowful and inhumane event' on Tuesday.

Speaking to the press, Mohammad Baqer Nobakht said President Hassan Rouhani's trip to Kazakhstan was a chance for the Islamic world to deal with the killings in Myanmar.

Nobakht also said, 'Beyond expressing sorrow, Iran will use all its capacity to defend the suppressed through diplomacy.'
