The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, has claimed responsibility for an attack on a religious shrine in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz that killed 15 people and wounded 19 others. The attack on Wednesday is the first such incident in Iran since June 2017. The last such attack in Shiraz itself was in April 2008, when a bomb planted in a mosquekilled 14 people.

The attack on the Shah Cheragh shrine came amid a series of demonstrations in most Iranian cities, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16 while in the custody of the Iranian morality police for not wearing her hijab correctly.
