Terrorists have attacked the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum and Iranian parliament in two nearly simultaneous incidents:

There have been multiple attacks in the Iranian capital of Tehran, according to state media. A woman was arrested after a bomb attack and shooting spree wounded two people at the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum south of the city Wednesday, the semi-official Fars news agency reports. The news agency reported that a second attacker is currently surrounded by security officers.

That attack occurred at the same time as a shooting in the Iranian parliament, in which at least three people were injured after an attacker stormed the building in central Tehran, according to state-run Press TV.

Also at Washington Post, BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Tehran Times.

    You appear to be the one with the preconceptions here

    Really?
    You are the one who thinks the guy in portland attacked those muslim women because bernie sanders told him to hate muslims.
    Putting the blame on sanders is like putting the blame on the chocolate bars the guy liked to eat.
    However there was another candidate with a message the guy really liked too. Guess who that was?

    No, I never stated that and have read a number of articles on the guy. Politically he was all over the place, there was simply no coherent political ideology or motivation behind his behaviour.

      Ah, literalism! The last refuge of the online coward: I never said that I just implied it by citing this totally unrelated fact right in the middle of saying the attacks weren't racist.

      Hey, I can be disingenuous too, hold my beer: I never said you stated that either. I said you think it! Totally different thing.

        Yes, literalism. As opposed to people taking comments completely out of context to score political points. If you want to know why I stated he was a Bernie Bro, I already did: he had no coherent political ideology but the media insist on creating a false narrative to frame all conservatives as "far right". This murderer did, factually, express support for Sanders/Stein on his facebook page. Just a crazy person who is now claiming he acted in self defence.
