In Iran, at least 12 people have been killed and dozens more injured in two separate attacks in Tehran this morning. The attacks on the parliament building and the tomb of the republic’s founder are the worst attacks in Tehran in decades. The attackers opened fire and took a number of hostages before all four attackers were killed by security forces. At least one attacker carried out a suicide bombing. ISIS has claimed responsibility.
