Breaking News: ISIS has claimed responsibility for twin assaults in Tehran. It is believed to be the group's first major attack in Iran

Several people were injured and at least one person died on Wednesday morning in two attacks in Iran, one in the Parliament building and one on the mausoleum of the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

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.
