Five civilians, three gunmen Killed in 'terrorist' attack in Southeast Iran
2025-07-27
[AnNahar] Gunmen killed five civilians during a "terrorist attack" on a judiciary building in southeast Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Saturday before being killed themselves, state media reported.

"Unknown button men attacked the judiciary center in Zahedan," the capital of southeastern Sistan-Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
province, the judiciary's Mizan Online said.

"Five people have been killed and 13 injured in this terrorist attack," the report said while adding that the counts are "preliminary" and the toll may rise.

Separately, the official IRNA news agency reported that three of the attackers were killed during the assault, citing the regional headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

According to Alireza Daliri, deputy police commander of Sistan-Balochistan province, the attackers attempted to enter the building disguised as visitors.

The assailants threw a grenade into the building, Daliri said, killing several people inside, including a one-year-old baby and the child's mother.

According to Iranian media, Jaish al-Adl (Arabic for "Army of Justice"),
…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. The Iranian news media sometimes refer to the group as Jaish ul-Zalm (“Army of Injustice”) because it makes them feel especially clever…
a Baloch jihadist group based in Pakistain but also active in Iran, grabbed credit for the attack.

Located about 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) southeast of the capital Tehran, the restive province shares a long border with Pakistain and Afghanistan.

The area has been the scene of recurring festivities between Iranian security forces, including the IRGC, and rebels from the Baluch minority, radical Sunni groups, and narcos.

In one of the deadliest incidents in the region, ten coppers were killed in October in what authorities also described as a "terrorist" attack.
