An armed assailant opened fire on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij members in the Sarfarazan district of Mashhad, Iran, according to a single unverified report. The attacker used a Kalashnikov rifle, killing at least two individuals. The suspect remains at large, and the incident occurred on the southern outskirts of the city, not near a funeral as initially rumored. The report is from a single source and has not been independently confirmed. Iran has faced a series of internal security incidents in recent weeks, including clashes with Kurdish opposition groups in western Iran, as reported by The Zioneer. However, it is unclear whether this incident is linked to those events.
