Attack on Shiraz shrine kills 15: Iranian state media
Al JazeeraAPR 21 2023
The terror attack in Shiraz makes the sinister intentions of those promoting violence in Iran completely clear. Iran's enemies have drawn up a multi-layer scheme to promote insecurity in Tehran, but its national security will not be toyed with by terrorists or foreign meddlers who claim to defend human rights.
The theocracy in Iran is now trying to deem legitimate protests "riots" and arguing that they were a pretext for Wednesday's IS-claimed attack. There's no evidence linking extremist groups to the widespread, largely peaceful demonstrations that have been hit hard by security forces' brutal crackdown.
