Earlier, in a statement, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) in Khuzestan said an armed group took advantage of the riots in the city and opened fire on people and police, calling on the people of the province to attend massively the funeral of the martyrs of the terrorist operation.

The governor of Khuzestan, Sadiq Khalilian, announced the arrest of 11 perpetrators of the terrorist attack as they were trying to escape from the region to avoid investigations and try to hide the truth, noting that one of the terrorists detained was trying to flee toward Germany or France.
