BEIRUT: British Foreign Secretary William Hague condemned Tuesday what he described as 'shocking terrorist attacks on the Iranian Embassy in Beirut,' saying his country was strongly committed to supporting stability in Lebanon.
“I strongly condemn the shocking terrorist attack on the Iranian embassy in Southern Beirut today that has led to such tragic loss of life. I send my condolences to the families of those killed and injured,” Hague said in a statement.

“The UK is strongly committed to supporting stability in Lebanon and seeing those responsible for this attack brought to justice,” he added.

At least 25 people were killed and over 100 wounded in a suicide attack on the Iranian Embassy in the Beirut neighborhood of Bir Hasan, a predominantly Shiite area.

Hague also said that the British Embassy in Beirut remained at a high state of vigilance and that a consular team stands ready to assist British nationals.
