“Terrorist groups feeding on Saudi petrodollars”, jurisprudent

Ayatollah Hussein Noori Hamedani, senior Shia jurisprudent, has issued a message following the terrorist attack in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan province killing 27 IRGC members vowing that the incident will bring honor to the country, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He slammed the attack as another instance for the world arrogant powers and Zionists to unveil their true face in killing nearly two dozen forces of Islamic Republic Guards Corps.

The cleric said,” These terrorist groups are funded by the Saudi petrodollars receiving the commands for massacre from the United States not knowing that every single drop of blood spilt from our martyrs will bring honor to our country.”

Ayatollah Noori Hamedani hailed the massive turnout of the Iranian nation in demonstration held for 40^th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

” Iran’s armed forces, particularly the IRGC, have been a thorn in the side of the enemies” said the cleric and extended his condolences for the bereaved families of 27 IRGC forces killed in the incident.

27 members of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) forces have been killed in a terrorist attack in southeastern Iran en route to Khash in Sistan and Baluchestan province on Wednesday when their bus was targeted in a suicide car bomb attack.

The IRGC's Qods Headquarters said in a statement that an explosives-laden car rammed into the bus, which was taking the personnel back to their homes.
