Nope. ISIS is Sunni.Isis? Really? I thought they were "pals" with Iran.
By looking at the pictures of one of the terrorists bodies who got decapitated, who would place explosives around their neck?
That's strange you would place it in a hidden place.
Nope. ISIS is Sunni.

Yes, it was a shot from this video. Maybe +18 for some scenes.TBH, that looks like a still frame from a video rather than a photo. You'd have to be set up waiting for the explosion and quick on the shutter to catch it in a still shot, whereas getting a frame like that would just be a case of pointing a phone/camera at whatever was going on and then just pulling it out later.
So who profits when geopolitical instability keeps oil countries from being powerful, keeps them occupied, fearful and distracted? Who sells weapons to them? Who has an interest in selling their own oil and gas?
What? Iran has been the primary opponent of ISIS across the globe, sending more troops and resources to fight it than just about any other nation outside of Iraq and Syria themselves (certainly more than the US or is allies).
Nope. ISIS is Sunni.
Interesting that you went there though, im sure there are a lot of people that mistakenly make that same connection as you.My mistake then, nevermind.

Worst thing about this attack is some people who make jokes about this situation and Rouhani on Twitter...

At least 12 people were killed and dozens more injured in the twin assaults on the Iranian capital, state media reported. A third attack was foiled, Iran's Intelligence Ministry said.
ISIS issued a swift claim of responsibility. Its media wing, Amaq, claimed "fighters with the Islamic State" carried out the attack, but did not offer evidence.
By choosing the burial site of Iran's revered revolutionary leader, and the national legislative forum, the attackers picked highly symbolic targets.
The attack shocked Tehran: Until now, Iran has largely escaped the regular assaults launched against other participants in Syria's civil war. In a region plagued by sectarian violence, residents of the Iranian capital have lived in a peaceful oasis.
The violence unfolded at about 10 a.m. local time (2 a.m. ET) when gunmen apparently dressed as women stormed the main gate of the parliament building in central Tehran and opened fire, Iran's Deputy Interior Minister Mohammad Hossein Zolfaghari told state television.
The attackers took a number of hostages and at least one detonated a suicide bomb. Sporadic gunfire was heard before Iranian authorities declared the situation under control about four hours later. All four attackers were killed by security forces, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
At the same time as the parliament attack was launched, a shooting spree and suicide bombing targeted the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum about 25 kilometers (15 miles) away, on the southern outskirts of the Iranian capital. Fars reported that one person was arrested at the tomb.
This is dark. And during a religious festival as well.
I cant imagine the popular media will stand with Teheran the way they would London or Paris, but I for one am sad whenever anyone is targeted, whoever or wherever.
I don't think even GAF is.This is dark. And during a religious festival as well.

Why do you say that? I thought I've read articles recently that argue that ISIS is on the verge of collapse.Things are getting dire if ISIS is able to pull this kind of stuff off

Wow, I wonder what the motives of the shooter are.
I don't think even GAF is.
Yep.
All this stuff happening around Ramadan too.
It'll be another big escalation in tensions, but it probably won't lead to open war.How will Iran respond to this?
Yeah. 12 people die and a national parliament attacked and only two pages of commentary. Sympathy around here is really ethnocentric at times.I don't think even GAF is.

Awfully curious timing.
RIP to the victims. I fear this is just the start...
Seems as if Ramadan is turning into terror season.
It's pretty easy to disregard the lives of people who live in countries that aren't friendly with the US. Our media framing is horrible.
Yeah. It really fucks up our ability to empathise.It's pretty easy to disregard the lives of people who live in countries that aren't friendly with the US. Our media framing is horrible.
State Department condemns the terrorist attack in Tehran.
