President Hassan Rouhani has censured the US for a recent missile strike against an airbase in Syria, saying the aggression will boost terrorism in the region and strengthen lawlessness and instability in the world, the Iranian news agency Press TV reported.

“I call on the world to reject such policies, which bring only destruction and danger to the region and the globe,” Rouhani said in a post on his Twitter account on Friday night.

The Iranian president’s comments came after the US military pounded the Shayrat airfield southeast of Homs with 59 Tomahawk missiles in the early hours of Friday.

“US aggression against Shayrat strengthens regional extremism and terror, and global lawlessness and instability, and must be condemned,” Rouhani further said.

“The tragedy of Khan Shaykhoun is horrifying and must be condemned.” Rouhani added.
