On November 6, four Iranian police officers were killed in a shooting attack in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan.
“The incident, at a traffic police station on the Iranshahr-Bampour highway, caused the martyrdom of police officers,” regional police chief Major Alireza Sayyad told the official Islamic Republic News Agency, adding that an investigation was underway.
The attacker was reportedly an Iranian soldier. Local officials believe that a personal dispute provoked the deadly shooting. However, opposition sources allege that the attacker had political motives.
Iran has been witnessing mass protests over the death of Masha Amini for several weeks now. The 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman died in September after being detained by the country’s moral police for allegedly not wearing a proper hijab.
According to Iranian authorities, dozens have been killed in the protests, so far. Many of the casualties were police officers and security personnel.
Alongside the protests, clashes also broke out in Sistan-Baluchistan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, on more than one occasion recently. Separatist Jihadi groups, first and foremost Jaish ul-Adl, were reportedly behind much of the violence there.
Iran believes that the intelligence of the United States, Israel and several European and Arab states have been fueling the unrest and even commanding protesters and terrorists.
Between September and October, the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked several bases of U.S.-affiliated Kurdish-Iranian opposition groups in northern Iraq. The armed groups were allegedly plotting to launch an insurgency against Iranian government forces.
A recent report by The Wall Street Journal revealed that Saudi Arabia and the U.S. are worried that Iran could soon began attacking energy info structure in Arab states working to destabilize it.
Senior Iranian officials have already warned that they will take action against any side that attempts to fuel unrest in the country.
Despite of the unrest, the Islamic government continues to enjoy the support of many in Iran. The last two month saw a series of mass rallies in support of the government. The most recent wave of rallies was held on November 4 to commemorate the 43th anniversary of the United States embassy takeover.
Protests in Iran will likely go. Violence in the country, especially terrorist attacks, could increase as a result. However, this will not likely produce any political change that could benefit the U.S. and its allies.

To solve such a problem, turn off social media, and all problems disappear. In my opinion, social media is a tool for Intelligence gathering, steering public opinion, and command & control platforms. United States invests billions in spying technology (satellites, spy airplanes, drones, etc..), and it will not use such platforms as a weapon
It is fun however to write “Slava Russia!” and “, Ukraine must be destroyed because it is the product of Bolsheviks and it is not viabile like all the rest.” on CIA propaganda walls, as it was fun to write the truth about covid and their vaxxes. 😅
I am Syrian, and this is Syria all over again. Stop the brain washing machine that is controlled by the west (social media).
First of all it is not Masha Amini but Mahsa Amini. Second she was not arrested by the iranian police. So get your fact straight and do not play into the western discourse.
I am thankful for the violence that engulfs the Islamic world. Maybe God’s judgement is finally coming upon these Muslims.
What are you thankful for? “violence that engulfs the Islamic world”
Huh? What violence? Do you have any clue what is happening in Ukraine or the EU or The US or Asia? I wouldn’t say that violence engulfs the Islamic world if you are comparing it to the rest of the world.
Pray to Satan more buddy (your God), these are planned attacks, and if you didn’t know it is their last “hope” to achieve anything before dying.
How many times God’s judgment came upon the EU and Asia? WWI (the EU), WWII (the EU), and soon God’s 3rd judgment coming upon the EU again (WWIII). Hahahahaha, Asian countries also had their fair share of wars, I think the Middle East and Muslim countries had fewer wars and killings, yet some of them are the oldest countries on Earth.
Indeed my gay friend, whilst we ugly eurotrash fuck each other’s asses and kiddy fiddle away, how dare they object to us my pink pig friend 🍆
Balochistan, the oil rich area 🤫.
No, Iran’s oil and gas fields are in the West, South West, and South. (“Balochistan” is in South East of Iran).
Also, “Balochistan” is mostly in Pakistan, and part of it is in Afghanistan and Iran. TBH, I don’t want to get into it.
