Propagandists responded to to other propagandists

Even with ISIS claiming responsibility for the attacks, Iranian officials have been quick to blame the incident on their international rivals: Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the U.S. On Friday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the attacks would “only increase hatred for the governments of the United States and their stooges in the region like the Saudis.” While the White House said it was “grieving and praying” over the victims of the attacks, it scornfully noted that “states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote.” In a Thursday tweet, Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, called the statement “repugnant,” arguing that the terrorist incident was “backed by U.S. clients.” “Iranian people reject such U.S. claims of friendship,” he added.
This sentiment was shared by a number of Iranians during the nation’s prayers on Friday. The Times reports that Friday worshippers shouted “Death to Saudi Arabia” and “Death the United States, Britain, and Israel.” Meanwhile, a speaker proclaimed that “America and Saudi Arabia could not get anything from their proxy wars, so they decided to bring the war here, inside Iran.” But the problem at stake remains even bigger than this deep-seated international rivalry: In their video released Thursday, ISIS suggested that Saudi Arabia could be next.
