The security forces killed three of the attackers during retaliation in the country’s restive southern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
In the video on X, the group of attacker carrying rifles were seen entering the building, prompting the people present there to run. As they entered the building, one of them shot at a specially-abled man. While a woman in the premises was seen running and covering her ears amid the sound of firing.
AP, citing State TV, reported the attack was carried out in the province’s capital city of Zahedan. Acting swiftly, police and security forces immediately took control of the site, 1,130 kilometres southeast of Tehran.
As per a report in the semiofficial Tasnim news agency, militant group Jaish al-Adl, which wants independence for Iran’s eastern Sistan and Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan provinces, were blamed for the attack.
The province that shares border with Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been the site of occasional deadly clashes involving militant groups, armed drug smugglers and Iran’s security forces.
Earlier in October, an attack on an Iranian police convoy in the province claimed the lives of at least 10 officers.
