Iran’s president orders probe into Shah Cheragh terrorist attack

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has directed Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi and Governor of Fars Province Mohammad Hadi Imaniyeh to promptly identify and punish the perpetrators of the terrorist attack at the Shiraz-based Shah Cheragh shrine while ensuring proper care for the injured.

President Raisi instructed Minister Vahidi to conduct a thorough and expeditious investigation into the security aspects of the incident and subsequently submit a comprehensive report detailing the findings, according to Al Mayadeen.

In separate phone conversations, President Raisi, who also serves as the chairman of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), urged the Interior Minister and the Fars Province Governor to employ all available resources to provide comprehensive care for the injured.

The attack, which was shortly after claimed by ISIS, resulted in one death and left eight others injured in Iran's southern city of Shiraz.

Reports from state media indicated that the attack involved two armed terrorists. One assailant was apprehended, while the other remains at large. Among the injured, three individuals are reportedly in critical condition.
