Οι δράστες των επιθέσεων στην Τεχεράνη, οι οποίες είχαν αποτέλεσμα να χάσουν τη ζωή τους 12 άνθρωποι και να τραυματιστούν δεκάδες άλλοι, ήσαν Ιρανοί, δήλωσε ο αναπληρωτής επικεφαλής του Συμβουλίου Εθνικής Ασφαλείας της Ισλαμικής Δημοκρατίας στην ιρανική κρατική τηλεόραση, όπως μετέδωσε το Αθηναϊκό Πρακτορείο.

«Για την ταυτότητα των δραστών της επίθεσης, πρέπει να πω ότι ήσαν από διάφορες περιοχές του Ιράν και είχαν ενταχθεί στο Ντάες», δήλωσε ο Ρεζά Σαϊφολχαΐ.

Tehran terrorist attacks: As they happened  
After the attacks ended, the Interior Ministry issued a statement, elaborating on the terror incidents. According to the statement, the first terror group, comprised of two people, entered the mausoleum at around 10:30 a.m. local time (0500 GMT). The first terrorist blew up his explosives but the second was killed during firefight with security forces.   
Concurrently with the attack at the mausoleum, the second terror team, which included four people, sought to enter the office building of the parliament but were confronted by security forces, the statement said.
The ministry said that one terrorist blew his explosives up and the three others were killed in shootouts during clashes with security forces as they were seeking to reach upper floors of the parliament building.
It added that the country’s Supreme National Security Council will hold a meeting later in the day to investigate different aspects of the attacks.

Tasnim said earlier that the hostage rescue team of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had arrested two “terrorists” at the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum.
An ambulance belonging to the Welfare Organization of Iran was targeted when terrorists fired 16 bullets at the vehicle at the mausoleum. Nobody was injured in the attack.

Meanwhile, IRNA cited an official with the Intelligence Ministry’s Counter-terrorism Department as saying that several terrorist teams had entered the capital earlier in the day.
One of the terrorist teams was busted before managing to stage any attacks, while two others attacked the parliament building and the mausoleum. At the shrine, one bomber was killed before setting off his explosives, but another managed to blow himself up.
Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani condemned the attacks as “cowardly” and said they meant to undermine Tehran’s anti-terror fight.   
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who is in Turkey for an official visit, also condemned the “indiscriminate” terror attacks. He described terrorism as a global challenge and warned about rising insecurity and terror acts in the region.
