is part of the internal arabian war between Sunnis and Shiites, a war without end.....

 

well Iran is not an Arab country and this is the first time such things happen in middle of Iran in 20-30 years. Iran is/was probably the safest country in the middle east.

 

Today was a very sad day. I never saw such thing in Tehran in my lifetime (yeah we had MEK terrorist attacks but that was long time ago) I prefer to not judge until we know the nationality of the terrorists. that's very important. but that was about time until ISIS found a way inside Iran.

 

so far 12 deaths, mostly innocent civilians RIP :( and I hope such things never happen again, anywhere specially in my hometown.

There is a war between  Sunnis and Shiites, the first have Saudi Arabia like the "leader" and the Shiites has Iran like leader......ISIS are a Sunni extremist organization, for that reason i sayed what i sayed, the Sirias war and the conflict with ISIS are all part of the same thing: Saudi Arabia, ISIS and the most part of the Sunnis countrys in one side, Iran, Siria, Hezbolla, the Shiites groups of Irak and Yemen in another side.

For this reason ISIS wont atack any "sunni" target?, of course they do, in fact some sunni monarchys pay to ISIS to dont make nothing to them.

This is a good summary but things are not black and white like this. for example Hamas is a Sunni group. and some Sunni countries like Oman and Kuwait always had good relationships with Iran.

and I also don't believe all those new about Iran's influence in Yemen and Houthis, Iran is not that interested in Yemen.

 

and about today here people remember this comment from the Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman only a month ago.

" We will not wait until the fight is inside Saudi Arabia and we will work so that the battle is on their side, inside Iran, not in Saudi Arabia "

Are there still good relations between Iran and Hamas? As far as I know Hamas has broken with the Syrian regime and is supporting the rebels.

well things are apparently getting better with Hamas new leader Ismail Haniya. which is not a good new for the Iranian people in general, meaning they will spend/waste more money to Hamas.  I wouldn't say that if that money couple help the Palestinian people and their lives but we know it doesn't hlep much. mostly create more problems for them

Of course, is a sumary, there are many "greys" areas in our world.

Incredible declaration of the arabian prince......what are the repercussions in Iran?
