In a shooting that took place in front of a school in the city of Nikshahr, Iran, four people lost their lives. Among the deceased are the commander of the Revolutionary Guards and the head of the city council. The attackers opened fire from a passing vehicle. Authorities believe that the assailants, whose identities have not been disclosed, may be linked to "Jaish ul-Adl," which Iran has designated as a terrorist organization.
According to the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), Nikshahr District Governor Mucib Hoseyni provided information regarding the incident.
Hoseyni stated, "While students were outside participating in an activity at Muhsin Sheikhhan Bent School, as a result of the opened fire, Bent Revolutionary Guards Corps Commander Perviz Kedhudayi, Bent City Council Chairman Yusuf Shirani, and 2 soldiers lost their lives."
The Iranian official did not provide information about the identities of the assailants. It was noted that the assailants opened fire from a passing vehicle.
The group "Jaish ul-Adl," which Iran has designated as a "terrorist organization," claims to be fighting for the rights of the "Sunni Baloch people" in the country and is engaged in an armed struggle against the Tehran administration.
