Frankly, the most ideologically inconsistent part of this attack is that the attackers ran away instead of dying and being martyred. That’s not in line with ISIS and much more in line with self-radicalized individuals such as in the Boston Marathon bombings.
Is that actually inconsistent with ISIS tactics? They’ve been fighting Russia in Syria. Suicide attacks may just not be in vogue with how they fight. I’m not talking from experience, just questioning your assumption that past patterns still hold.

Weirdest ISIS attack in a while for sure. The Iranian attack was via suicide bombers, which is at least ideologically consistent.
