Hezbollah condemns Tehran dual attacks

Hezbollah condemned on Wednesday the dual terror attacks that targeted the headquarters of the Iranian Shura Council and the shrine of late Imam Khomeini, in the Iranian capital Tehran.

"This dual crime attempts to meddle with the security and stability of the Islamic Republic of Iran and to impact its firm resolution to stand by the resistance movements in the region and its position as a strong fortress in the face of hegemony, arrogance and terrorism," Hezbollah said in a statement.

Hezbollah considered "the crimes carried out by the terrorists in our region and the world are the product of an international destructive scheme that is funded, protected and backed by the well-known regional leaderships."

Suicide bombers and gunmen attacked Iran's parliament and the Mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran on Wednesday morning, killing at least 12 people in a twin assault at the heart of the Islamic Republic, Iranian officials and media said.

Islamic State claimed responsibility and released a video purporting to show gunmen inside the parliament building and one body, apparently dead, on the floor.
