Gunfire targets Sunni leaders in Iran
Iran is facing a rise in attacks on Sunni religious figures in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, with the latest being the killing of cleric Mullah Youssef Kourji by unidentified gunmen in Zahedan. This is the third such incident in three months. Armed groups, including the "Jaysh al-Adl" (Army of Justice), which seeks independence for the predominantly Baloch region, are suspected of carrying out these attacks, although they have not officially claimed responsibility. These operations coincide with a intensified security campaign in the province, which suffers from poverty, weak infrastructure, and high unemployment. The armed insurgent groups are targeting the area, with a notable increase in executions among the Baloch population, amidst escalating security tensions in the region.
