The Ahvaziya group claims IRGC military parade shooting. Deaths rise to 30

In a statement to the Iran International news site, a spokesman of al-Ahvaziya was quoted as saying the attack on a military parade in the Ahvaz oil town on Saturday “was in response to the repression of Ahvazi Arabs”. He said: “We do not have a choice but to carry out resistance.” Little is known about the al-Ahvaziya group, but Revolutionary Guards spokesman Ramezan Sharif said it is “funded by Saudi Arabia”. The death toll from that attack has risen to 30.
