Terror-sponsoring despots threaten to bring the fight to our homeland.
That statement came after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard blamed the USA and Saudi leaders for the attack.
"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", Trump said.
Saudi and Iranian leaders accuse each other of sponsoring militant groups.
"With the help of security forces and families of the suspects, 41 people linked to the attacks and to Daesh (Islamic State) have been arrested in different provinces", state TV quoted the interior ministry as saying.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's supreme leader, used the attacks to defend Tehran's involvement in wars overseas. "They will soon be eliminated".
The powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps accused Riyadh of being behind the attacks and vowed to seek revenge.
Iran has slammed US President Donald Trump's response to Wednesday's twin terror attacks in Tehran as "repugnant", as the death toll from the ISIS-claimed assaults rose to 16.
Driver Killed, Millis Officer Injured In Crash
A vehicle accident in Millis, Massachusetts on Sunday afternoon involved a Millis Police cruiser, according to local authorities. A police officer and the driver of the other vehicle were both taken to hospital with minor injuries, police said.
Iran suffered its worst terrorist attack in recent memory Wednesday, a bold strike by assailants armed with explosives and assault rifles against the tomb of the Islamic Republic's revolutionary founder and the parliament building. "They earlier left Iran and were involved in the crimes of the terrorist group in Raqqa and Mosul", the ministry said according to state news agency IRNA, referring to Islamic State's effective capital in Syria and a city it captured in Iraq. The US State Department and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres both condemned the attacks.
"This terrorist act took place a week after a joint meeting between the US president and head of a reactionary regional country [Saudi Arabia] which has been a constant supporter of terrorism", the statement said.
Five of the attackers died and, Reuters reports, more than half a dozen suspects have been arrested in connection with the assault - the first major attack Iran has experienced in years. One of them detonated a suicide vest, he said.
The video, recorded by a CCTV camera, was released by Iranian media outlets, including Fars news agency. "Do you think we will go away?" a narrator asks. "We remain by the God's will (in an unknown Arabic accent)".
Police helicopters circled over parliament, with snipers on its rooftop.
The Trump administration has made Iran the focus of its anti-terrorism rhetoric and policies, apparently creating a quandary for how to respond when Iran itself is the target of an attack. Everyone was shocked and scared.
Iran has said five Iranians, who had joined IS and travelled to its Iraq and Syria bastions, carried out Wednesday's attacks on the parliament and the shrine of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
