The Islamic State claimed responsibility for its first major
attacks inside Iran earlier today. Although the group has long fought
Iranian-backed forces in Iraq and Syria, it had never struck Tehran. Islamic
State spokesman Abu Muhammad al Adnani previously admitted that his
organization had abided by an order from al Qaeda's senior leadership to
refrain from attacking in Iran.

The strike against pro-Syrian government militias is the second
in the past month. The US military is training Free Syrian Army-branded
militias in the area to battle the Islamic State.
