Iran Press- Iran/ In a statement released on Sunday, the IRGC’s Public Relations department offered condolences over the martyrdom of a number of “beloved compatriots” in the terrorist attack and said it will make every effort to punish the perpetrators of this criminal attack, Tasnim news agency reported.
The terrorist attack carried out in Ahvaz by the “cruel stooges” of the global arrogance (the US) and reactionary regimes in the region showed that Iran’s sworn enemies, particularly the “evil triangle” of United States- Saudi Arabia-Israel, will resort to any means to kill innocent women and children by blind terrorist attack, the statement said.
“Undoubtedly, committing such crimes will not undermine the sincere and firm determination of the Iranian Establishment and nation to adhere to the supreme causes of the (Islamic) Revolution and the dear martyrs and to continue their honorable path,” the IRGC said.
“With the grace of God and endeavors of intelligence and security institutions of the country as well as the existing superiority over the strongholds of leaders of the criminal and evil terrorists, a deadly and unforgettable revenge will be taken on them in the near future with the help of God, the Almighty,” the IRGC added in the statement.
During the military parade in Ahvaz, which was staged concurrently with nationwide military parades on Saturday to mark the Sacred Defense Week, Takfiri militants wearing disguise opened fire at the people participating in the ceremony.
At least 25 people were martyred and more than 60 others injured during Saturday morning's terror attack in Ahvaz, capital of Khuzestan Province, in southwestern Iran.
