Iran marks 1st anniv. of Ahvaz attack by Saudi-backed terrorists

Iran marks the first anniversary of a deadly attack by Saudi-sponsored terrorists in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz at a time that the kingdom's warmongering approach in the region backfires.

Iranians are participating at events commemorating the September 22, 2018 terrorist attack on Ahvaz military parade, which left 25 people dead and over 60 others wounded.

Both the al-Ahwaziya and Daesh terror outfits, which receive backing mainly from Saudi Arabia, claimed responsibility for the assault.

Shortly after the attack, the London-based TV channel Iran International allowed al-Ahwaziya's spokesman to go live on air to justify their heinous crime.

Iran filed a complaint with the UK’s media regulator Ofcom against the channel, which according to The Guardian receives as estimated $250 million from the Saudi royal court each year.

Separately, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) rained surface-to surface ballistic missiles on the gatherings of the ringleaders of the terror attack in an area east of the Euphrates in Syria, killing and injuring a large number of Takfiri elements.

Riyadh is widely believed to be a key sponsor of the Takfiri terrorists, who are inspired by Wahhabism, an extremist ideology preached by Saudi clerics.

Saudi Arabia, under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has adopted a warmongering policy in the region, which turned futile and backfired on the kingdom.
