Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Friday that its intelligence unit had foiled a bomb attack in the southern city of Shiraz, two days after a deadly shooting at a shrine there, the guards' news agency Sepah News said.

"A bombing in Mo'ali Abad Street in Shiraz was detected and foiled by the Revolutionary Guards intelligence," Sepah news said, without giving further details.

Wednesday's shooting, which was claimed by ISIS, killed 15 worshipers at the Shah Cheragh shrine.

"We will take revenge for the blood of the martyrs of Shiraz," said Tehran Friday prayer leader Haj Ali Akbari.

Ukraine's partners had "confirmed positive signals" about imminent White House pressure on Russia following President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's conversations with British, French, German and Italian counterparts, a top Ukrainian official said.

"Our partners confirmed positive signals from the White House regarding firm actions against the Russian Federation, particularly on sanctions targeting Russian oil and secondary tariffs following the end of the 10-day deadline set by President Donald Trump," Andriy Yermak wrote on X.

He added that he also discussed preparations for a "historic" bilateral security deal between Kyiv and Washington backed financially by European allies.
