Iranian forces have killed six militants in a raid in the restive southeast, state media reported Saturday, saying they were members of a “terrorist” group linked to arch enemy Israel.<\/p>\n

“During an intense exchange of fire with terrorists in Sistan-Baluchistan province, six assailants were killed and two others arrested,” official news agency IRNA said, citing a statement from the intelligence services.<\/p>\n

The report did not provide an exact location or say when the raid took place.<\/p>\n

Sistan-Baluchistan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has long been a flashpoint for clashes between security forces and armed groups, including drug traffickers and separatists.<\/p>\n

IRNA said there were “documents” indicating “the Zionist nature” of the group targeted in the latest raid, adding that its members had planned to attack a “vital” facility in Iran’s east, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

The report said that “the main operation team” was composed of “seven non-Iranian terrorists”, but did not specify their nationality.<\/p>\n

Two intelligence agents and a police officer were wounded in the gunfight, IRNA said.<\/p>\n

Iran regularly reports deadly ambushes in the province targeting police or members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Sunni jihadist group Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), which Tehran outlaws as a “terrorist” organisation, claimed an attack in Sistan-Baluchistan that killed five police officers.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Iranian state media said security forces had killed seven members of another jihadist group, Ansar al-Furqan, also in Sistan-Baluchistan.<\/p>\n

The province, which is home to a large Sunni Muslim Baluch minority, is one of the poorest regions of the Shiite-majority country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
