The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, which are believed to be the terrorist group’s first major assaults within Iran’s borders. The Islamic State is run by Sunni Muslim militants, and Iran is the largest Shiite Muslim country in the world. The assaults immediately raised concerns that a broader sectarian conflict could worsen.

We should really stop using the term "ISIS" to describe these attacks. Most of these guys are the same militants that have plagued the area for decades. They are simply holding up the ISIS flag since its convenient this year.
Those guys might just have merit yet.
