The Latest: Egypt condemns IS-claimed Iran attacks

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The Latest on the fallout from attacks in Iran claimed by the Islamic State group (all times local):

3:30 p.m.

Egypt has condemned Islamic State-claimed attacks on Iran’s parliament and a shrine to its revolutionary leader in the “strongest terms.”

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry offered its condolences to the families of the deceased on Thursday and called on the international community to intensify its efforts to fight terrorism and its sources of funding.

Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard indirectly blamed the attacks, which killed at least 17 people and wounded over 40, on its regional rival Saudi Arabia, a close ally of Egypt.
