"Terrorist attacks on 22 September in Ahvaz, the capital of Iran’s oil-rich southwestern Khuzestan province, rocked the country. At least 29 people were killed and 70 others wounded. Groups including the Islamic State and a previously unheard-of body called the Ahvaz National Resistance quickly claimed responsibility, raising speculation that the four assailants were not part of any militant organization."
