The official representative of the Iranian armed forces, Brigadier General Abulfazel Shekarhi said that the terrorists who fired at the parade in the Iranian city of Ahvaz, told reporters the details of what happened.
As the Iranian news agency Mehr reports, when answering the question about the archers' affiliation, the general said: "These terrorists do not belong either to Igil or to anti-revolutionary groups, they were trained in the two countries of the Persian Gulf with the help of the United States and Mossad and penetrated in the Islamic Republic ".
Shekakhri said that four terrorists hid four days before the military parade in the city of Ahvaz four AK-47s near the ceremony site. Today they opened fire due to the scenery of the assembled civil and military.
The event was attended by representatives of the local top leadership, including Governor Ahvaz, as well as high-ranking clergymen and deputies, notes Channel 9.
Shooting, as the general explained, lasted for several minutes, then the soldiers of the 92nd Panzer Division opened fire on terrorists.
The general said that among the victims there is a little girl and a disabled veteran, and also that many military and civilians were killed from the local administration. He announced that he can not name the exact number of deaths.
According to news agencies, when shooting in "Ahvaz" killed from 20 to 30 people, dozens more injured. Of the four terrorists, three were liquidated, one captured alive.
Responsibility for the attack was assumed by the separatist group "Al-Ahvaz", which, according to the Iranian authorities, is sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Then the responsibility for the attack was stated in the IGIL.
However, the Iranian authorities blame the West. Brigadier General Abulfazel Shekarhi told journalists that "the US and the occupation Israeli regime are those who train and finance terrorists, and those regimes that are our neighbors in the Persian Gulf teach terrorists, and the Islamic Republic of Iran itself is also a victim of terrorism".
