| [IsraelTimes] Iranian forces have killed six militants in a raid in the restive southeast, state media reports, saying they were members of a “terrorist” group linked to arch enemy Israel. “During an intense exchange of fire with terrorists in Sistan-Baluchistan province, six assailants were killed and two others arrested,” official news agency IRNA says, citing a statement from the intelligence services. The report doesn’t provide an exact location or say when the raid took place. Sistan-Baluchistan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has long been a flashpoint for clashes between security forces and armed groups, including drug traffickers and separatists. IRNA says there are “documents” indicating “the Zionist nature” of the group targeted in the latest raid, adding that its members had planned to attack a “vital” facility in Iran’s east, without elaborating. The report says that “the main operation team” was composed of “seven non-Iranian terrorists,” but doesn’t specify their nationality. Two intelligence agents and a police officer were wounded in the gunfight, IRNA says. Iran regularly reports deadly ambushes in the province targeting police or members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. |
