According to a single, unverified Hebrew-language report citing Iranian claims, an anonymous armed group opened fire on a car near the city of Saravan in southeastern Iran, killing the driver, identified as Arvabi, and seriously wounding his wife. The report says Iranian sources assert the group is supported by Israel and the US. No official Iranian confirmation has been released.
According to a single-source Hebrew-language report attributed to security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt, Iran claims that an anonymous armed group supported by Israel and the United States opened fire on a car on a road near Saravan, in southeastern Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province. The report states that the driver, identified as Arvabi, was killed and that his wife, who was beside him, was seriously wounded. The claims have not received confirmation from any official Iranian source.
Saravan is a city near the Pakistan border in a restive region where Iranian security forces have frequently clashed with separatist militant groups and drug smugglers. The assertion that the attackers were backed by Israel and the US is a recurring theme in Iranian propaganda, often made without substantiation. No Israeli or American official comment has been reported.
The report is the latest in a series of unverified claims from Iranian-linked channels of kinetic activity — including drone interceptions and assassinations — reported over the past weeks (as The Zioneer previously noted, June 11–28). This incident, if confirmed, would represent a rare armed attack inside Iran attributed to a state-backed proxy rather than a drone or airstrike.
At this stage, the account rests on a single, uncorroborated source; no independent or official corroboration is available. The involved parties' identities and the precise timeline remain unconfirmed.
