DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran will retaliate after an attack claimed by Islamic State on a shrine that killed 15 people, the commander of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday

The assault will add pressure on the government which has faced relentless demonstrations by people from all layers of society since the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, on Sept. 16.
