Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore in a statement condemned the Tuesday terrorist attacks on the Iranian embassy in Beirut which left 23 people killed, including cultural attaché Ebrahim Ansari, IRNA reported.
"I condemn the terrorist attack of Tuesday morning in Beirut without any condition and this savage attack which took lives of several people is unjustifiable," Gilmore said.
The two bomb blasts killed 23 people and injured 146 others on Tuesday. The attack targeted just 10 meters away from Iranian embassy in Beirut's Southern neighborhood of Jinah, inflicting much damage to the compound.
The main gate of the Iranian Embassy was blown out by the first explosion, and the second blast happened just meters away from the embassy.
A Lebanese government source said Ansari was entering the embassy as the blasts took place, adding that the Iranian official died of his wounds at a Beirut hospital.
Head of the Iranian Embassy's security team and five of his men have also been among more than two dozen people killed in the twin blasts which struck an area near the embassy compound in Beirut Tuesday morning.
