Iranian Cleric Attacked with Knife in Qom Following Traffic Accident
2023-04-30

......
[Shafaq News] An Iranian holy man was attacked with a knife in Qom during a traffic accident on Saturday, following the recent killing of a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts.

Qom police chief Amir Mokhtari explained that the car crashed and two pedestrians were maimed. The driver attacked "one of the victims, a holy man," with a knife. The three maimed were taken to the hospital, including the driver, who cut himself with a knife.

The holy man is still in intensive care, and the motives for the attack are unclear.

The attack comes after the recent death of Ayatollah Abbas Ali Soleimani, a member of the Assembly of Experts who was shot in a bank in Babolsar.

Also, a holy man was reportedly hit by a vehicle in Tehran last Wednesday. The police confirmed that they were pursuing the driver responsible for the accident but did not provide further details.

#2  Oh, I don't know. No Iranian cleric has done anything to me or my family.
