The gunman who killed 15 people at a major Shiite holy site in southern Iran earlier this week has died, Iranian media said on Saturday. The report came as Tehran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard issued a new warning to Iranians joining the protests that have roiled the country since last month. Wednesday's attack on Shah Cheragh in Shiraz, Iran's second-holiest Shiite shrine, was claimed by the militant Islamic State group.
