Mehdi Shamsabadi, Sistan and Baluchestan prosecutor, told news hounds that a group of person or persons unknown targeted the border guards while they were filling gas at a station in Mirjaveh city. Three border guards were killed and one civilian was injured.
In separate conversations with Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and Sistan and Baluchestan Governor Mohammad Karami, Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref "emphasized the necessity of preventing the recurrence of such terrorist incidents by strengthening the borders of the country," according to the semi-official Mehr News Agency
...And if you can't believe Mehr News Agency who can you believe?...
Jaish al-Adl, a Sunni bad boy group which frequently targets Iranian security forces in Sistan and Baluchestan, grabbed credit for the attack in a statement, warning that the province "is not safe for the guards of the oppressive regime."
| Added for future reference: Jaish al-Adl, sometimes spelt Jaysh al-Adl, is an indigenous Balochi Salafi insurgent group based in Pakistan’s Baloch province. They regularly cross the border to attack Iranian targets. For some reason, the Iranian news media sometimes refer to the group as Jaish ul-Zalm. |
Jaish al-Adl, has carried out a number of suicide attacks on Iranian security forces, killing dozens in the border areas. The group was added to the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations in 2019 by the administration of former US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...The designation was in response to a deadly attack by the group on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which killed 27 guards near Sistan and Baluchestan’s picturesque provincial capital of Zahedan.
