The families of the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Iran have called on the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to take immediate action to fight terrorism, PressTV reported.
In a letter to the UN chief, Iran's Justice Supporters' Association said the recent terror attack in the southeastern Iranian city of Chabahar once again proved that terror groups will never abandon their inhumane acts, and that the international community is constantly suffering under the shadow of their threats and terror.
"The events in Chabahar were the consequence of long-term support by certain governments for terrorist organizations for temporary and political interests," the letter read.
"The incidents were also the result of years of passivity and silence of international organizations vis-a-vis terrorist groups. Although these groups are well-known all over the world, they continue their inhumane acts unhindered, and take the lives of innocent people in the most violent forms," it added.
The association also emphasized that all international governments and organizations which back terrorist groups or remain tight-lipped on their measures are responsible for the killing of a six-month baby who was among the victims of Chabahar terrorist attack.
Comprising the families of 16,000 victims of terrorism in the Islamic Republic, Iran's Justice Supporters Association also called on the United Nations, as the most important international organization, to take serious and practical steps in accordance with its commitments stated in the UN Charter to prevent such events which kill innocent people every day and threaten peace and security.
"The United Nations should take a serious measure and draw up an appropriate strategy to identify the perpetrators, facilitators and supporters of these terrorist groups and to administer justice against all those who are involved in anti-human measures," the letter added.
At least 38 mourners -- including women and children -- were killed and more than 90 wounded in two separate terrorist attack in the city of Chabahar in Sistan-Baluchestan Province on December 15.
The mourners were commemorating the anniversary of the martyrdom of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (PBUH).
Anti-Iran terrorist group Jundallah has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.
Iran says the perpetrators behind the Chabahar terrorist attack were trained and equipped by foreign elements beyond the country's eastern borders in Pakistan.
