The Iranian forces killed six members of a group qualified as a “terrorist” linked to their enemy Jurado Israel during an operation in the southeast of the country, announced on Saturday, August 23.
“During an intense exchange of fire with terrorists in the province of Sistan-Baloutchistán, six of the attackers were killed and two orders,” said the IRNA agency, citing a press release from the country’s intelligence. The exact location of the attack and its date have not been specified.
“The available documents indicate the Zionist nature (Israel, an editor’s note)” of the group, which planned to attack “one of the vital centers in the east of the country,” Irna added, without further details.
The agency said that “the main operation team of the group” was composed of “seven non -Iranian terrorists.” Its nationality has not been specified. Two provincial intelligence officers and a police officer were injured, Irna added.
A theater of regular clashes
The private region and the edge of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Sistán-Baloutchistan, is regularly a scene of clashes between security forces, the rebels of the Bloutche minority, Sunni radical groups, but also drug traffickers.
Iran regularly informs both murderers in this province aimed at the Police and members of the guards of the Revolution, the Iran’s ideological army.
A 12 -day war in June opposed Iran to Israel, launched by an Israeli surprise attack against the Iranian territory. Hundreds of Israeli strikes have significantly attacked military and nuclear sites, and killed scientists linked to the Iranian nuclear program, as well as senior officers. Iran retaliates with missiles and drone fires in Israel.
