On Friday morning, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), condemned the horrific attack on worshipers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. 49 people were killed in the mass shooting, which occurred during afternoon prayers, and more than 40 more were wounded.

On behalf of the people of #Iran who have been suffering under the rule of the Godfather of terrorism for 40 years, I extend my deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and pray for quick recovery of those injured. #NewZealand

Mrs. Rajavi tweeted:

“I strongly condemn the mass shootings on two mosques in #NewZealand and the heinous killings of worshipers. #Iran”

Mrs. Rajavi also offered her condolences to the families of those killed or injured in the deadly shooting, tweeting:

“On behalf of the people of #Iran who have been suffering under the rule of the Godfather of terrorism for 40 years, I extend my deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and pray for quick recovery of those injured. #NewZealand”

According to Reuters, the shooting is the worst mass killing in New Zealand’s history. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern raised the country’s security threat level to its highest degree, adding, “This can now only be described as a terrorist attack.”

The NCRI, the MEK, and the Iranian Resistance strongly condemn the deadly attack, which Ardern called an assault on the nation’s values.
