This incident is another proof of the need for "uncompromising war on any manifestations of terrorism," Putin said.
"I would like to confirm our readiness to further enhance cooperation with our Iranian partners in the fight against this evil," he said.
The President offered condolences to the relatives and friends of those killed in the attack and wished a speedy recovery to those injured, according to the Kremlin.
