Russian President Vladimir Putin offered condolences to Iran’s leadership, condemning "terrorism in all its forms" and said the attack on peaceful people was "shocking in its cruelty and cynicism."
 
In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered condolences to the “friendly and brotherly” people of Iran over the “heinous terror attack.”

Azerbaijan also slammed the attack and offered sympathies to the bereaved families of victims, saying as a country deeply suffered from terrorism, Azerbaijan condemns all its forms and manifestations.

Armenia’s foreign ministry in a post on X extended condolences, stating, “Shocked by the news of explosions in Kerman city Iran, causing death over 100 innocent civilians. Our thoughts and prayers are with the casualties and their families.”

The Iraqi government said it condemned the terrorist attack and offered any help needed "to alleviate the impact of this cowardly criminal act."
 
“Pakistan decried the inhuman terrorist attacks in Kerman, and said, “Sincere condolences to Gov. & people of Iran. Our heart goes out to families of the victims. We stand in solidarity with Iran at this hour of grief."
 
Jordan’s foreign ministry also lambasted the terrorist attacks and expressed the country’s solidarity and support for the Iranian people.
 
Lebanon Ministry of Foreign Affairs rapped the deadly attack, and warned of the “seriousness of this criminal act and the possibility of it destabilizing regional security.”

The political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement denounced the attack, which it called “criminal.”

The movement said the incident was part of enemies' attempts to undermine Iran's role in the anti-arrogance movement and weaken its support for the cause of the Islamic Ummah and the resistance.
 
Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah also extended condolences for those killed in the blasts, saying they followed the same path of struggle as General Soleimani.

“We offer all of their families our sincerest condolences. They are martyrs on the same path; they are martyrs of the same cause, of the same battle, that was being waged by commander Haj Qassem Soleimani.”
