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.

    Not a chance with the resolution! [wikipedia.org] Unfortunately.

    It's possible to be murdered even when one is not socializing during peace time, btw.

    Yes, thank you for pointing that out ;)

      We all know the story, that resolution was never anything but a pretext and veil of legitimacy. The US and UK lied to get it passed, were never sanctioned and likely never will be.
