AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iranian Minister of Interior, in contact with Fars Province Governor-General, issued an urgent order to investigate the dimensions of Sunday evening terrorist incident immediately.

Ahmad Vahidi, Iranian Interior Minister, talked to the Governor-General of Fars Province Mohammad-Hadi Imanieh and stressed the necessary measures to be taken to maintain peace, prosecute the perpetrators of the terrorist attack, and prioritize the medical treatment of injuries as a matter of urgency.

In a shocking incident, a terrorist attack unfolded at the revered Shahcheragh Holy Shrine just moments ago, which left one killed and seven injured.

The assailant attempted to gain entry through the Bab al-Mahdi door, triggering a physical confrontation with the shrine's security forces.

Reports from unofficial sources suggest that, following a gunshot wound, the terrorist opened fire on the security personnel, causing seven people to be injured and one dead.

Tragically, one person in this sacred site was killed.

Injuries have been taken to medical centers and are being treated.

This distressing event marks the second terrorist attack at this place within the past year. The previous attack claimed the lives of 13 pilgrims.
