The members of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation emphasised that Iran's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity should be respected, calling on all sides to show restraint and avoid actions that could aggravate the situation.

The SCO Member States express sincere condolences to the families of those murdered as a result of the attack and declare their solidarity with and support for the Government and the people of Iran,” the statement reads.
