“Shooting began by several gunmen from behind the stand at people watching the parade in Iranian city of Ahvaz. There are several killed and injured,” a correspondent told state television.

Iran is holding military parades in different cities, including Tehran, with the start of the Sacred Defense Week, which is observed every year to commemorate the country’s sacrifices during the 8-year long war imposed by Iraq in 1980.

The parades started on 8:30 local time and 30 minutes later, two unidentified men what are being termed as terrorists by Iranian media fired bullets at the civilian crowd watching the ceremony.

According to Fars News, the two terrorists also intended to attack the military commanders and officials on the podium but they were wounded by the security forces.

Time to think with "levelheadedness," or a much greater tragedy might unfold.

Killing some Americans won't address your problems, only exacerbate them. Just saying.
