CAIRO —
Iranian state media reported Saturday that at least 25 people were killed and 60 were wounded in an attack on a military parade in the Arab Ahvaz region of the country. President Hassan Rouhani called on the country's security forces to determine who was behind the attack amid competing claims of responsibility.
Heavily armed gunmen rained automatic weapons fire for over 10 minutes on participants of the parade in Khuzestan province. Most of the victims reportedly belonged to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard.
Iranian TV showed ambulances ferrying dozens of victims to nearby hospitals while survivors could be seen helping those who were injured.
