Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, said 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 an evil destination.
O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh with them; their abode is hell, and what an evil destination they have. Once again, in the foggy atmosphere of seditions designed and led by the sinister Hebrew-Arab-Western triangle, a group of God’s best servants were targeted by the bullets of the blind and sworn enemies of religion, creed, and the independence of dear Iran, and were martyred and wounded at the holy shrine of Ahmad bin Musa during prayer.
I, hereby, extend my congratulations and condolences to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the honorable families of the martyrs, and the noble people of Iran, and pray for the swift recovery of the wounded. I declare that the domestic and foreign planners and perpetrators of this brutal crime will soon fall into the trap of the law enforcement, security, and intelligence forces of the Islamic Republic and will face the consequences of their disgraceful actions.
The rioters and the deceived, who undoubtedly share 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.
