Iran's Supreme leader on Wednesday shrugged off attacks by gunmen and suicide bombers in Tehran that killed 13 people and were the first in Iran by the ISIS hardline Wahhabi terrorist group.
“These fire-crackers that happened today will not have the slightest effect on the will of the people,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said after the attacks, which also left dozens injured. The attackers struck at Iran's most potent symbols: its parliament complex in Tehran and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who led the 1979 Islamic revolution.
