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 spare no effort to punish the
perpetrators.
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 Western-Arabian-Israeli "evil triangle”, will
resort to any plot or 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.
The political deputy governor of Khuzestan Province, Ali Hossein Hosseinzadeh,
put the latest death toll from the attack at 25, saying 60 others have been
injured.
According to media reports, the Al-Ahvaziya terrorist group has claimed
responsibility for the attack.
