While Iranians in the province of Khuzestan held funeral processions for the victims of a terrorist attack on a military parade, there still seems to be a great deal of confusion in the media as to who was behind the attack, causing tension between Iran and a number of European countries.
One day after the attack, the Islamic State (IS) released a video claiming responsibility for the attack that killed 29 people, including children and disabled veterans of the Iran-Iraq War. The IS-affiliated Amaq news agency released a video of the four perpetrators. Three of the attackers spoke Arabic into the camera as they drove in a car, dressed in military fatigues. One of the attackers spoke Persian, the predominant language in Iran. According to early reports, three of the attackers were killed on the scene and one was taken alive. It is not clear which man in the video was taken alive.
