strange that terrorist manage to Attack such sensitive installation into Tehran , i mean Iran did a good job protecting their Cities from the Terrorist attack but now it happen , so how it happen in such a well guarded place, is there any Possibility of any Internal Help ?
@haman10 @Serpentine ? was there any threat alerts post this attack ?
Immediately After the guards at entrance gate (it wasn't main parliament entrance) asked the terrorists to show their belongings, they get their guns out and start shooting them, killing 2 right there and injuring others. Then they burst into the building area shooting at anyone they see. I agree that more security precautions should have been taken, perhaps one reason might be that we are not used to see these kinds of attacks in past 20-25 years in Tehran and other major cities, we should have been more prepared.
But, the counter terror teams did extremely well in eliminating the terrorists. All the casualties were from before spec ops arrive at the scene. Although 12 people have been killed, I think it could have been much more catastrophic, given 5 terrorists were fully armed and also had grenades besides suicide vests. In the other attack at Imam Khomeini's mausoleum, after terrorists started shooting, the guards immediately eliminated a suicide bomber while the other one blew himself up after getting surrounded. I was afraid the casualty count could be much higher.
