Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, stated that the rioters are complicit in the sin of this great crime.
Following the terrorist incident at Shah Cheragh in Shiraz, Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, issued a message as follows:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell, and what a terrible fate it is.
O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell, and what a terrible fate it is. Once again, in the murky atmosphere of seditions designed and commanded by the sinister triangle of Hebrew, Arab, and Western forces, a group of the best servants of God were targeted by the bullets of blind and sworn enemies of religion and the independence of dear Iran at the holy shrine of Ahmad bin Musa during prayer, resulting in their martyrdom and injury.
I, hereby, while congratulating and offering condolences to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the esteemed families of the martyrs, and the noble nation of Iran, and praying for the swift recovery of the injured, declare that the domestic and foreign designers and perpetrators of this brutal crime will soon be caught by the vigilant security, intelligence, and law enforcement forces of the Islamic Republic and will face the consequences of their disgraceful actions.
The rioters and those deceived, who are undoubtedly complicit in the sin of this great crime, should know that the security, peace, and protection of the lives and property of the noble people of Iran are the red lines of the patient, powerful, and self-sacrificing armed forces of Islamic Iran.
