Three Iranian Border Guards Killed in Attack

A terrorist attack in Mirjaveh, Sistan and Baluchestan province, resulted in the deaths of three Iranian border guards, including an officer, and injured one civilian. The assault occurred when gunmen opened fire on the guards at a gas station, with the militant group Jaish al-Adl claiming responsibility. This group, known for targeting Iranian security forces from its bases in Pakistan, has been involved in several recent violent incidents, including the deaths of at least 22 Iranian police officers in April. Iranian officials have initiated a judicial investigation and intelligence efforts to apprehend those responsible for the attack. Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref expressed condolences and emphasized the need for measures to prevent future incidents. The ongoing violence in this region highlights the security challenges posed by militant groups and ethnic tensions.
