Iranians on Monday bid farewell to Ahvaz terror attack victims who were martyred on Saturday.

A massive funeral procession started at 8:30 a.m. (Tehran time) in Iran’s southwestern city of Ahvaz for the people and military forces who were martyred in a recent terrorist attack on a parade in the city.

The massive ceremony was attended by high-ranking officials in attendance.

The participants chanted various slogans against those behind the terrorist incident, including the US.

During the military parade in Ahvaz, which was staged concurrently with nationwide military parades on Saturday to mark the Sacred Defense Week, Takfiri militants wearing disguise opened fire at the people participating in the ceremony.

The political deputy governor of Khuzestan Province, Ali Hossein Hosseinzadeh, put the death toll from the attack at 25, saying 60 others have been injured.

According to media reports, the Al-Ahvaziya terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
