Separate attacks on Iran’s parliament and the tomb of the country’s revolutionary founder, Ayatollah Khomeini, by gunmen killed two people and wounded eight others on Wednesday.
The fatalities were a security at the parliament in Tehran and a gardener at the mausoleum of Khomeini, according to reports.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, though authorities suspect the Islamic State is behind the terrorism.
A witnesses told police three or four gunmen opened fire at the mausoleum and a female suicide bomber blew herself up outside the shrine.
About four men also entered the parliament and started shooting inside the building. The gunmen then fled.
No legislator was reported harmed.
