IRNA – Ambassadors of the Netherlands and Denmark expressed readiness for investigating the background of the self-proclaimed Saudi-affiliated Al-Ahwaz terrorist group that claimed the responsibility for Ahvaz attack.

The ambassadors expressed regret over the deadly attack in southwestern Iran, head of Iranian Foreign Ministry office in Khuzestan Mohammad Hadi Jazinizade told the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) on Sunday.
