Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Spokesman Seyyed Hossein Naqavi-Hosseini said on Saturday that Iranian MPs also plan to issue a statement in condemnation of the violence against Pakistani Shias.
He stated that an Iranian parliamentary delegation plans to visit Pakistan to condole with the families of the Shia victims and ask the Pakistani government to arrest and punish the killers and provide security to the Shia community of Pakistan.
On Saturday, Iranian clerics and seminary students strongly condemned the fact that the international community has been mostly silent over the massacres of Shia Muslims in terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
In protest over the killings of Pakistani Shias by foreign-backed terrorists, all seminaries in the cities of Tehran and Qom were closed, with teachers and students taking to the streets to censure international organizations for failing to take up the issue.
They also chanted slogans in support of the innocent Pakistani Shias and accused the United States and Israel of being behind the anti-Shia terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Militants have been waging a violent campaign against Shia Muslims in Pakistan for several years.
Shias living in the Kurram Tribal Agency, which is located in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, have been facing a humanitarian crisis since November 2007, when extremist groups cut off the area from the rest of the country.
Local sources say hundreds of Shia Muslims have been killed in Kurram since the start of the campaign.
Shia religious gatherings have also been targeted in various areas of Pakistan over the past few months.
