A deadly attack on a police convoy in Iran's Sistan and Baluchistan province resulted in the deaths of ten officers. The assault occurred in the southeastern region of Gohar Kuh and was described as an ambush on police vehicles, although no group has claimed responsibility. This area, bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan, is known for its ongoing clashes between Iranian forces and Sunni militants, including Baluch insurgents, and drug traffickers. The attack came amidst heightened tensions following a large-scale offensive by Israel across Iran. Iranian authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, which highlights the longstanding ethnic and sectarian tensions in the predominantly Shiite nation. The region has been plagued by violence for decades, often involving militant groups like Jaish al-Adl.
