At least 15 people have been killed and 27 others injured following an armed attack on the Shah Cheragh mosque in the southeastern Iranian city of Shiraz.

According to Ismail Mohebipour, head of Security, Political and Social Affairs of Fars Governorate, the incident took place while worshippers were performing their prayers, ISNA reports.

Mohebipour himself stressed that the situation is already under control by the security authorities, who have managed to arrest two of the three alleged perpetrators of the shooting.

This event took place on a day in which several Iranian cities were once again the scene of numerous demonstrations against the government, just on the 40th day since the death of Masha Amini in police custody.
