This is the moment gunmen storm into Iran’s parliament during session in Tehran to carry out a deadly attack claimed by ISIS.
The footage — released by the terror group’s Amaq news agency — was apparently taken by one of the militants and shows an injured or dead man in business attire sprawled on the floor.
A man with an assault rifle is seen walking past the bloody scene as the attackers are heard yelling in Arabic with alarms blaring in the background.
“Oh God! Thank you… do you think we will leave? No! We will remain, God willing!” one of them says, the Independent of the UK reported.
Iran’s state news agency reported that 12 people were killed and 42 wounded in the attack at the parliament and a separate strike at the tomb of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini south of Tehran.
The four extremists who burst into parliament were killed five hours after the attack began, according to the Interior Ministry.
At the shrine to Khomeini, one attacker was shot dead and another was killed in a suicide blast, the governor of Tehran said.
Officials said security forces had arrested another “terrorist team” planning a third attack, but did not give details, the Independent reported.
