Supreme Leader receives families of Shah Cheragh terrorist attack

Tehran, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei met here on Tuesday with a group of family members of the October terrorist attack in Shah Cheragh, Shiraz.

The meeting was held in Tehran this morning.

On October 26, 2022, a shooter opened fire on pilgrims at the shrine of Shah Cheragh in Shiraz, the capital city of the southern Iranian province of Fars. At least, 13 were killed in the terrorist attack and 30 more were wounded.

The agent who carried out the attack on the holy place in Shiraz died in hospital despite efforts to keep him alive, the deputy governor-general of Fars Province in security and political affairs,  Esmail Mohebbipour, told IRNA three days later.

Ayatollah Khamenei said after the attack, “The heinous crime that took place in the holy shrine of Ahmad ibn Musa (PBUH) and led to the martyrdom and injury of tens of innocent men, women, and children saddened and grieved our hearts."

“The perpetrator or perpetrators of this heinous crime will surely be punished.”
