Yesterday, a police station in Baluchestan province of Iran was attacked by a group of armed fighters

In early reports the government media talked about a suicide bomber blowing up the port of the police station before they attacked the police inside, but later they corrected it to say that they use large bombs and grenades to attack the station.

In the process, one police man was killed immediately and another died of injuries he received during the gun fight that followed.

2 of the attackers were also killed and other 2 were chased and cornered in a private home during the follow up of the attack. And they were lost their lives in the gun battle that followed.

This is the most severe attack by the armed groups in Baluchestan province in recent months. And will definitely causeea major crack down by the regime against the peaceful demonstrators and Sunni clerics critical of the regime.

Ayatollah Abbas Ali Soleimani, one of the 6 clearics appointed by Khamenei into the Assembly of experts (Majles-e Khibregan), he was shot dead in northern city of Babolsar today.

Soleimani had served as the personal representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the province of Sistan and Baluchestan earlier.

Confusion persisted hours after the attack. State TV initially reported that Soleimani was at the bank when another man seized a guard’s firearm and began shooting over a personal dispute with an employee.

State TV later reported that the guard was the one who opened fire and killed the cleric. The Interior Ministry arrested the attacker and launched a special investigation into the murder, whose motive remains unclear.

Soleimani was a member of the Assembly of Experts, an 88-seat panel that oversees and appoints Iran’s supreme leader. He also was the imam who led the weekly Friday prayers in the #Kashan and #Zahedan cities.

The 75-year-old cleric had served as the personal representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei to the province of #Sistan and #Baluchestan, which shares a border with #Pakistan and #Afghanistan and has a majority #Sunni population.

Extremist groups against #Tehran’s Shiite government operate there, along with gangs dedicated to smuggling and drug trafficking activities.

In April 2022, a suspected Sunni extremist stabbed to death two Shiite clerics and injured another in #Mashhad city on the influence of the #takfiri, a term used for Muslims who brand others as apostates and condemn them to death.

Rare snow fall in southern city of #Zahedan in #Baluchestan province of Iran!

Zahedan is close to Pakistan border and snow is rather unusual seen in that region.

But the whole country is suffering from one of the worst winters in modern history with temperatures way bellow -20°C in Kurdish and Azeri cities of Iran.

The massive shortfall of fuel and LPG as well as natural gas has made this winter specially hard on many low income families across Iran.

The government of #Reisi to s also making things worse by cutting the supply of natural gas to those who use more than the "norm" or those with back pay are getting their gas cut off.

Sistan and Baluchestan is on the move today like the previous Fridays. People are demonstrating against the regime in the cities of #Zahedan, #Khash, #Saravan, #Chabahar, #Iranchahr, etc. Here in Zahedan people are saying: Death to the dictator, Death to the Basij (militia) and Death to the Pasdaran (mullahs' parallel army).
The regime has killed more than 300 protesters in #Iran since September 17, including at least 100 Baluchis. #Mahsa_Amini
