ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Amaq, the ISIS media agency, has posted a video on social media claiming to show the perpetrators of Saturday’s attack on an Iranian military parade which left at least 29 people dead.
Gunmen opened fire on an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) parade in Ahvaz on Saturday organized to commemorate the start of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, which Iran has blamed on Arab separatists in the country’s southwest. Tehran has accused the UAE of sponsoring the attack.
In the video, which appeared on social media on Sunday night, three men in a vehicle claim they are on their way to attack an Iranian military parade.
The three men are dressed in IRGC uniforms. One of them speaks in Farsi, while the other two speak about jihad in Arabic.
