At least one person has been killed after a suspected suicide bomber reportedly blew himself up near the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.
Two other people were wounded in the explosion in Tehran, the Iranian capital, the local news agencies reported on Saturday.
"Minutes ago, a terrorist detonated his explosive vest in the Imam Khomeini shrine. The blast caused damage in one section of the shrine," Hossein Sajedinia, Iran's deputy police chief for operations, told the Mehr news agency.
