In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed deep sorrow over the renewed devastating earthquake that struck parts of northern Afghanistan, leading to the loss of lives and extensive damage.
Araqchi conveyed the sincere condolences and sympathy of Iran to the government and people of Afghanistan and to the bereaved families of the victims, wishing a swift recovery for the injured.
He added that Iran stands ready to dispatch immediate humanitarian and relief assistance to the earthquake-affected areas.
The death toll from a powerful earthquake that struck northern Afghanistan early on Monday climbed to 27 on Tuesday, with almost 1,000 others confirmed injured by the temblor.
The US Geological Survey said the 6.3 magnitude quake was centered near Kholm, in the northern Samangan province, but Afghanistan's Taliban government has reported damage and casualties in at least five other provinces.
