Terrorist Attack on Courthouse in Iran’s Zahedan Leaves Five Dead, 13 Injured

At least five people were killed and 13 others wounded in a terrorist attack targeting the main courthouse in Zahedan, a city in southeastern Iran, according to local media sources.

Unidentified gunmen launched a coordinated assault on the judiciary complex early Saturday, opening fire before security forces and emergency responders could secure the area, Fars News Agency reported.

The full scale of the attack and the extent of damage remain unclear, as authorities have not yet released detailed information about the assailants’ identities or their motives.

Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, is a region that has experienced periodic unrest and armed violence, often linked to militant groups operating near Iran’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Iranian government has not officially confirmed the group responsible, and investigations are ongoing.
