The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Tuesday the attack on the Iranian consulate building in Syria's capital, Damascus.

In a statement, the MWL General Secretariat underlined its condemnation of the targeting of diplomatic and civilian facilities that are protected by international laws and norms, regardless of the justifications.

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also condemned the attack, saying it violates the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the international law protecting the sanctity of diplomatic missions.
