Gunmen killed three military personnel and wounded another in southeastern Iran on Thursday. According to state media reports, gunmen in a car opened fire on a Border Regiment vehicle in Sistan and Baluchistan province near the Pakistani border. Two soldiers and an officer were martyred in the attack, while a civilian was injured. IRNA reported that the terrorist group Jaish al-Ad has claimed responsibility for the attack, which demanded more rights for the Baloch minority, who are allegedly victims of sexual harassment.
22 Iranian policemen killed
It is noteworthy that in April, at least 22 Iranian policemen were killed in two separate clashes in the province. The province, bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been the site of deadly clashes between terrorist groups, armed drug traffickers and Iranian security forces.
Attack on the Revolutionary Guards Headquarters
Earlier, suspected Sunni Muslim militants attacked the headquarters of Iran's Revolutionary Guard in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan. The attack killed 11 security personnel and 16 civilians. Clashes also broke out between the Jaish al-Adl group and security forces in the cities of Chabahar and Rask, according to state media reports.
A dozen police officers were killed
In December, militants attacked a police station in the province, killing about a dozen police officers. Sistan and Baluchistan province is one of the least developed parts of Iran. Relations between the region's predominantly Sunni Muslim population and Iran's Shiite theocracy have long been tense.
