He made the remarks in a statement published on the ministry's website, while reacting to the attack in front of the Istanbul Caglayan Courthouse on Tuesday, in which a civilian was killed and six others, including three police officers, were wounded.
Kanaani extended sympathy to the families of those killed and injured in the incident, wishing the wounded speedy recovery.
He reaffirmed Iran's solidarity with the "brotherly and friendly country of Türkiye" in the fight against terrorism.
