TEHRAN (Defapress)- The security forces prevented the media workers and guests of the parliament from entering the building after finding the suspicious object near the Northern gate, declaring a red alert for 25 minutes.

Then the authorities responsible for defusing explosive devices were called to check the object. The check and control of the bomb squad issued an all-clear signal after 25 minutes.

Two terrorist attacks were simultaneously carried out by five ISIL terrorists against the Iranian Parliament building and the Mausoleum of late Imam Khomeini, both in Tehran, Iran, on 7 June 2017, leaving 17 civilians dead and 43 wounded.

8 ISIL terrorists were tried at Tehran Revolutionary Court in the presence of their lawyers and families of those killed in the attack earlier this year.
