Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terror, was attacked by ISIS this morning.

Twelve people were killed and 42 injured in the simultaneous attacks on the parliament building in Tehran and the shrine of the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, to the south of the city, state-run Press TV said.

The Sunni extremist group Islamic State took responsibility for both attacks using its Amaq News Agency, saying they were carried out by its fighters and were its first in Iran — the Middle East’s Shiite power.

Ponder on this for a minute. It is well-documented that Iran has sponsored terror groups all over the world.

We can count Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Quaeda, and ISIS among those groups. 

In a rare and stunning move, ISIS released video from inside the parliament building while the attack was under way.  The video, circulated online, shows a gunman and a bloody, lifeless body of a man lying on the ground next to a desk. A voice on the video praises God and says in Arabic: “Do you think we will leave? We will remain, God willing.” Another voice repeats the same words. The two appeared to be parroting a slogan used by IS spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, who was killed in Syria last year.

Many of the attackers dressed up as women. At least one was wearing a suicide vest and blew himself up inside the Parliament building.
