Details of the terrorist attack in Shakhcherag: how did Novruzov contact ISIS?

  Rahmatullo Navruzov, the perpetrator of the terrorist attack in Shahcherag in the city of Shiraz, under the organizational nickname "Salman Islamyar", for the first time contacted one of the leaders of the Daesh (ISIS) group through cyberspace. In a conversation with the local news agency, some sources provided new information about the terrorist attack in Shakhcherag. Rahmatullo Navruzov first communicated with one of the leaders of ISIS through cyberspace, and then went to Turkey for operational cooperation with ISIS, where he actually becomes a member of a terrorist group.

Then the terrorist of Tajik origin crossed to Afghanistan, where he trained in the ISIS camp for almost 3 months and was involved in terrorist operations, and finally entered Iran to commit a terrorist act and committed his crime in Shiraz. Having discovered the messages of this terrorist, the Iranian security authorities are looking for a more practical strike against a possible network that helps him in Iran. On August 13, a terrorist entered with firearms into the tomb of Ahmed ibn Musa (Shakhcherag) in Shiraz and opened fire on pilgrims and temple attendants right at the entrance. As a result of this terrorist act, two people were martyred and eight were injured. Navruzov was arrested thanks to the timely arrival of security and police personnel.

The Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations called on the UN Security Council to condemn the dastardly attack in Shah Cherag as part of its commitment to combat terrorism and maintain world peace and security. Sending an official letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Amir Saeed Irevani, noting that the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly and categorically condemns such heinous and heinous acts and emphasizes its unwavering commitment to the belief that their perpetrators will be convicted and brought to justice, added: "Disappointing the fact that the UN Security Council remains silent in the face of such a bitter incident."

 The letter explains: "This silence is particularly disappointing and unacceptable given the UN Security Council's recognition and reaffirmation of terrorism as a serious threat to world peace and security in its resolutions." The letter from the Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations continues: “The Islamic Republic of Iran, which has been directly affected by the catastrophic consequences of terrorism, remains steadfast in its unwavering desire to lead the fight against this horrific scourge, and our will is to protect the glorious and noble people of Iran and protect the security of neighboring countries from the dangers posed by terrorist groups."
