United States Department Spokesperson issued a two-line statement to all media outlets saying,

The depravity of terrorism has no place in a peaceful, civilized world.According to a FOX World, ISIS released a video of the attack from inside the Iranian Parliament. Four terrorists were reportedly involved, one blew himself up inside parliament and the others were killed by Iranian police.
