We were standing outside when we heard the police e saying tht some people had rushed into the building. I saw a guy getting shot. He fell to the ground and was taken away in an ambulance. I was on my way to the hospital and i heard the sound of gunshots. Suddenly there was chaos, and the Security Forces arrived. They blocked off the street. Reporter the Second Attack took place in in about 20 kilometers south of the Parliament Building at the shine the shrine of the former leader Ayatollah Khomeini. It is reported one attacker detonated a suicide vest while another was shot dead. Irans Supreme Leader dismisses the attacks as fireworks that he said wouould not affect the country. The fireworks that took place today will have no effect on the peoples will. Everyone has to know that. The islamist the extremists are not good enough to affect the people. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility, but the guards are blaming regional rival saudi arabia after the attacks on two of the most secure sites, peoplele are askig how safe e the country y is. Brent all right, we want to bring in a reporter from the farsi news desk. You have been inside the iranian Parliament Building. How easy is it to get inside . The question couldld be, how toh was the security when you were there . It is not that easy. The parliament or the country, they are under surveillance. So it was like colleagues are saying, it is a little s strange how people could get inside the parliament kind of quickly and easily. And like with weapons and explosives. It was an issue on social media, among people who have been inside the parliament before. So for the revolutionary guard trying to explain the procedure of getting inside by these attackers. In the statement they said how exactly they got inside. Brent the targets that were attacked today, they are highly symbolic. They are iconic symbols for the Islamic Republic of iran. Knowing that, how is the fallout going to be from this attack . What is the impact on iranians knowing these symbols hit today . Reporter for a long time i ran is selling to the people and selling the idea they are very stable and we have this stability because of our presence inside syria. But we saw that this idea of the political game, the island of stability is not that true because the town of the former leader of the tomb of the former leader is a political sheet that iran is presenting. The parliament is a symbol of democracy that makes iran the Islamic Republic. Those symbols are very important to have been attached. Attacked. Brent he mentioned the sunnishia divide to consider. What does this do to the shia minority . Reporter the thing is like i think if the reaction comes from these minority, everyone would condemn these attacks. But the problem is after this attack happened, even during the attack because it was a long time, five hours, which was a problem, during the attack, people were talking like, so these attacks would bring the security that the top topic of the country. It means it would explain iran in syria more than before, selling the idea we need to be there, but also what would be the problem for the minorities . The fact that the government i mean the system would actually behave with them in the future . Brent all right, the farsi new service. Thank you very much. We want to return to our top story tonight. Explosive testimony is expected tomorrow from the former head of the fbi james comey. We know now part of what he is going to say. Part of his testimony has been released tonight. He is recorded as saying that if he wanted to keep his job, he should be loyal to the president. We have a reporter on the story. Good evening. What does all this mean to donald trump . Is his presidency at stake with this testimony . Reporter his presidency is at stake, but it does not necessarily mean it is an immediate danger. One could interpret this testimony from mr. Comey the former fbi director as donald trump putting pressure on him to let at least part of the investigation go, concerning Michael Flynn and his dealings with the russians. But if that really about to obstruction of justice, which would be a reason for impeachment, remains very much to be seen. This is comeys part of the story. Even if it is all true, for impeachment, there has to be a majority in the house of representatives voting in favor of a resolution to impeach the president. That would aid moved to the senate. Two thursday to evict the president. These are 2 3 need to evict the president. Many are sticking with the president in the republican majority. I dont see so many members of Congress Going against the president , at least not at this time, not based on this testimony. Brent why did we get this Key Information this evening before the hearing . We understand it was released by the senate. We are not talking about leaks. Reporter we dont know for sure if yes. Maybe it was to release pressure because the testimony of mr. Comey has been anticipated with excitement. But it is highly unusual. Brent it begs the question of what will we find out tomorrow in addition to what we have learned this evening. Thank you very much.
