Iran Holds Foreign Nationals Responsible for Shrine Attack, Links to ISIL

Iran has blamed the ISIL armed group for a second attack on the Shah Cheragh Shrine in Shiraz and has arrested a group of foreign nationals in connection with the assault. The lone gunman, identified as Rahmatollah Nowruzof from Tajikistan, entered the shrine and opened fire, killing one person and injuring several others. Iranian officials believe the motivation behind the attack was revenge for the execution of two terrorists involved in a previous incident. Ten people have been arrested so far, all of whom are foreign nationals, and a safe house has been discovered. Iran has vowed to give a decisive response to the terrorists.
