Gunmen opened fire on a police officer in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported, calling the attack a 'terrorist operation by American-Zionist agents.' No casualties have been reported. The incident follows a series of similar attacks in the southeastern province attributed by Iranian media to US and Israeli operatives.
Gunmen shot at a police officer in Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province on Wednesday afternoon, according to Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, which described the attack as 'another terror attack by American-Zionist agents.' The report did not indicate whether the officer was hit or any other casualties.
The southeastern province has seen a string of attacks in recent weeks. On Tuesday, a family car near the city of Saravan came under fire, killing two and wounding a child. Last week, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported that a deputy police chief in the same province was killed by unidentified assailants. In all cases, Iranian state and semi-official media have attributed the attacks to what it calls American and Israeli operatives.
The Zioneer has reported on multiple such incidents — including the Saravan shooting on June 30 and the police deputy's killing on June 30 — each time noting that the affiliation of the attackers remains unverified beyond Tehran's claims. No group has claimed responsibility, and no independent source has confirmed the involvement of US or Israeli agents.
