Iran hands 2 death sentences to Tajik man for deadly attack on Shiite shrine
[IsraelTimes] Islamic State member Rahmatollah Nowruzof to be executed over shooting at Shiraz’s Shah Cheragh mausoleum in August, in which 2 were killed

An Iranian court has sentenced to death a Tajik man convicted over carrying out a deadly gun attack on a Shiite Moslem shrine in August, the judiciary said Thursday.

The attack on the Shah Cheragh mausoleum in Shiraz, the capital of Fars province in Iran’s south, came less than a year after a mass shooting at the same site that was later claimed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Nine suspects — all of them foreigners — were arrested after the August 13 attack, which killed two people and maimed seven others.

The convicted attacker, identified as Rahmatollah Nowruzof from Tajikistan and described as an IS member, was handed two death sentence

s, the judiciary’s Mizan Online website reported.

He was convicted on charges of "moharebeh," or waging war against God, as well as "sedition and collusion against the security of the country," the website said.

Two other men were sentenced to five years in prison and deportation from the country over "participating in gatherings and collusion with the intention of disrupting the country’s security," it added.

In October 2022, a mass shooting at the shrine left 13 people dead and 30 maimed. IS later claimed the attack.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

hanged two men in public on July 8 over the killings after their conviction for "corruption on earth, armed rebellion, and acting against national security," Mizan said at the time.

London-based rights group Amnesia Amnesty International says Iran executes more people than any other country except China and hanged at least 582 people last year, the highest number since 2015.

The Shah Cheragh mausoleum is home to the tomb of Ahmad, brother of Imam Reza — the eighth Shiite imam — and is considered the holiest site in southern Iran.
