We're sorry. But you sort of deserved it.

That's the takeout from the White House's response to the Islamic State-claimed attacks on Iran's capital yesterday, in which at least 12 people were murdered at the Parliament building and the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum.

"We grieve and pray for the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks in Iran, and for the Iranian people, who are going through such challenging times," the White House statement reads. "We underscore that states that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote."
