News from Al-Madinah: According to official Iranian media, a gunman who attacked a religious site in the Iranian city of Shiraz on Wednesday died as a consequence of wounds he received when the security forces were battling the attacker.
Iranian authorities claimed to have detained an armed suspect in connection with the attack on the Shah Shurakh shrine in Shiraz, and the government media accused “Takfiri terrorists,” a term used by Tehran to refer to jihadist militants like ISIS.
In a statement reported by the government media, Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullahian declared, “We will absolutely not permit Iranian national security and its interests to tamper with terrorists and foreign intervention who profess to defend human rights.”
The perpetrators of this tragedy in Iran demonstrated their terrible motives, he continued.
He stressed that “there is reliable information that the enemies have developed a multi -class project to make Iran unsafe.
ISIS claimed responsibility for earlier attacks in Iran, including two fatal ones in 2017 that targeted the Iranian Parliament and Ruhullah Khomeini’s Mausoleum.
The disaster happened on Wednesday, the same day that Iranian security forces engaged in combat with more terrorists to mark the 40th anniversary of the death of Muhsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who was killed during a police seizure.
The protests, which brought many Iranians to the streets and included calls for the destruction of the Republic in order to assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have emerged as one of the more audacious threats facing the leadership since the 1979 revolution.
The authorities did not release the death toll, but the state media reported that roughly 30 security forces were slain. The authorities accused the United States and other Western nations of inciting what they dubbed “riots.”
According to government media, Interior Minister Ahmed Wahidi attributed the attack on Shiraz to the widespread protests sweeping Iran, and President Ibrahim Raisi promised a retaliation.
The assailant entered the shrine when he discovered an assault rifle in a bag and fired while devotees were attempting to flee and hide in the hallways, according to video footage that was aired on state television on Thursday.
He had been shot, according to the police.
Although the official media stated that he was not Iranian, his nationality was not mentioned.
