At least 15 people were killed and 40 others were injured Wednesday in a “terrorist attack” at the Shahcheragh Shrine in the city of Shiraz, southern Iran, according to state-run media and Iranian officials.
Two children were among the victims, according to state-run Press TV.
Iranian security forces have arrested two of the suspected attackers, and a manhunt is underway to capture the third assailant, state news said.
Nour News Agency, which is affiliated with Iran’s top security body, said the suspects were foreign nationals.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Wednesday evening is one of the busiest times for the shrine, reported the state-run IRNA, and eyewitnesses said an attacker was in a car before targeting worshippers at its entrance.
The governor of Fars province said that “the terrorist first targeted the servant and guard of the shrine, and intended to attack the congregational evening prayers, but one of the servants shut the door on him,” state news said quoting the governor.

“Loud screams were heard in the women’s section of the shrine at the time of adhan [the call for prayer] and suddenly an armed man was spotted with a Kalashnikov firing indiscriminately in the compound of the shrine,” an eyewitness told state media.
“After the initial burst of fire, the attacker went near the shrine and fired many rounds at those present at the scene,” the eyewitness added.
The attack took place on the same day that clashes broke out throughout Iran as thousands of people came to the burial site of Mahsa Amini in Saqqez, a city in the Kurdistan province, to mark 40 days since her death, semi-official Iranian state news agency ISNA said. It’s unclear if the attack was related to the protests.
Protests have swept through the Islamic Republic following the death of the 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman, who died on September 16 after being detained by “morality police” and taken to a “re-education center,” allegedly for not abiding by the country’s conservative dress code.


Very unfortunate. RIP to deads and prayers for fast recovery of Injureds.

one thing i don't inderstand is why some people try to attribute this ISIS attack to the recent unrest . the last ones who benefit from it are the protesters
These protests are being hijacked by every opportunist, cannibal whore out there. Death to salafi/wahabi and death to the "pans" and death to insect whores like zesht kalaam & zarif who constantly ingest the body fluids of ahriman! Also death to the koochkis and golpaayegaanis who are blatantly contributing to these evil fitnas. Gather the anusim and their "saabeti" servants and send them to special camps! Everything that China is doing in Xinjian against salafi/pan roaches needs to implemented in Iran ASAP against the anusim gopaayegaanis and the zesht kalaams.

They r already celebrating, Iran should be harder from the beginning.

and security service should take every western liberal activist in custody , very serious. Any personal who have links with west and liberal mindset should be prosecuted.

For me liberalism is a form of terrorism.
Yea, put liberal activists in custody to stop ISIS attacks, good luck 🤣.

Who benefits the riots? US

what do they say? Iran has killed people to justify the future suppression.

The funny thing is that whether it's a kid or an old man, each one thinks he is a strategist mastermind who has unfolded the naive plot of regime!

What's the outcome? Even when there is a terrorist attack, more police should be killed! march toward Syriazation!

So again, Who benefits? US
 
.
It's a direct operation by foreign intelligence agencies, and will be payed back in due time.

For us there is no ISIS or Jeish ol Adl but CIA/Mossad and Saudi Arabia.
All are US-tools.

Followers of Muhammad ibn abdul wahhabi

These people killed 1.5 million Iraqis after yankee attack to Iraq

We are lucky that we have strong security forces but Zionist axis are doing all their best..
