Tehran, Iran (CNN) Multiple attacks have hit the Iranian capital of Tehran, according to state media. Hostages are being held in the Iranian parliament, where at least three people were injured after an attacker stormed the building, state-run Press TV reports. Terrorist attacks in Iran are rare, particularly in the highly-controlled capital where tourist and government sites are tightly policed. It is currently unclear how the attacker or attackers entered the parliament building, which is highly fortified, with multiple security checkpoints. Last year, Iran's government said it thwarted " one of the biggest plots " by terror groups targeting Tehran and other major cities during the month of Ramadan.
