ISIS attacks in Iran
My enemy attacks my enemy *win-win*
Quote:
Gunmen stormed two major sites in Iran?s capital Wednesday, killing at least 12 people in gunfire and suicide blasts in parliament and at the revered tomb of the nation?s Islamic revolutionary leader. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Tehran attacks, which would mark the group?s first major strikes in Iran.
The twin attacks ? coming in the middle of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan ? also appeared calculated for maximum shock among Iranians.
Parliament is widely respected as a voice on domestic policies even as the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has the final word on most international and security issues. The vast shrine complex of Khamenei?s predecessor, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, is a centerpiece of homage to the 1979 Islamic revolution that overthrew Iran?s Western-allied monarchy.
