Iran's Revolutionary Guards blame US, Saudi Arabia for deadly ISIS-claimed attack in Tehran
Dozens were injured in the attacks, which targeted two of Iran's most potent symbols: its parliament complex in central Tehran and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who led the 1979 Islamic revolution.
In a statement after the attacks, President Hassan Rouhani called for global unity against violent extremism.
"Iran's message as always is that terrorism is a global problem, and unity to fight extremism, violence and terrorism with regional and international cooperation is the most important need of today's world," he said.
The country's powerful Revolutionary Guards vowed revenge for the attacks and claimed the United States and Saudi Arabia were "involved".
