IRGC commander Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari said the United States and the
Israeli regime had backed the ISIL terrorists who carried out dual attacks on
Iran’s parliament and Imam Khomeini shrine on June 7.
"We have obtained accurate intelligence that Saudi Arabia had also supported the
terrorists and asked them to carry out attacks in Iran,” he added.
On June 7, Iran’s parliament and mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran were
hit in near-simultaneous attacks that killed 17 people and wounded 52 others.
Terrorist group ISIL claimed responsibility for both attacks, but Saudi ties to
Wahhabi terrorists were also noted by Iranian officials. Prior to the attacks,
Saudi defense minister, Mohammad bin Salman, threatened to take the battle
inside Iran’s territory. Saudi officials however have denied any role in the
attacks on Tehran.
