The Shah Cheragh attack (Persian: حمله به حرم شاه‌چراغ) was a terrorist attack[2] that occurred on 26 October 2022 at Shah Cheragh mosque, a Shia pilgrimage site in Shiraz in southern Iran, in which at least 13 people were killed.[3]

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.[4] Iranian authorities condemned the attacks[5] and accused the protestors of Mahsa Amini's death of paving the way for such attacks to occur.[6][7]

On 8 July 2023 two men were executed for their involvement in the attack.[8]
