Iran Repels Terrorist Attack On Zahedan’s Police Station (Video)

ISWNews Analysis Group: The attack was defused by a number of Iranian special forces after several hours of fighting, which ended up in the death of all four terrorist attackers.

According to official sources in Iran, the clashes erupted at around 7 am and continued until 9:30 am.

During the early hours of the armed clashes, two members of the law enforcement forces of Iran – Sergeant Alireza Keykha and a soldier named Mobin Rashidi – were martyred and two attackers were also killed.

Moreover, two other attackers were besieged in a police station tower and they were killed in a conflict with police forces as well as auxiliary forces dispatched to the point. As a result of the last two assailants, the terrorist attack on Zahedan’s Police Station No. 16 came to an end.

In the above video, moments of the conflict between the special forces and the terrorists can be seen in the tower and the inner area of the police station, where all the terrorists eventually were killed. The body of one of the attackers has also disintegrated, which was probably due to the explosion of a grenade in the tower. Therefore, the claim of some local sources regarding the execution of suicide operations by terrorists is wrong. Also, some official sources stated that the number of attackers was three, which is not consistent with the video evidence, and the number of terrorists is four.
