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.

    Gotta agree with ikanreed here, you have a lot of decent viewpoints and quite a few good arguments from time to time; but then you sneak in with some weirdly pro-authoritarian garbage from time to time. My guess is it is latent brainwashing from your stint in the military, plus your older generation simply seems to take a lot of authoritarian beliefs for granted. So you probably have no idea and think its just normal. Can the fish see the bowl?
