US behind terror attack on courthouse in southeast: Judiciary chief
“There is no doubt that the root cause and origin of such crimes and terrorist incidents is arrogant powers, with the criminal US being at the forefront,” Eje’i said on Monday as he expressed his deepest condolences over the assassination of several Iranian nationals in the assault.
He added, “America is the primary sponsor of the unspeakable crimes of Zionists in Gaza, and the mastermind and architect of numerous crimes worldwide.”
The top judiciary official also instructed his deputy to take necessary measures in support of the families of people who have fallen victim to the terrorist attack in Zahedan.
At least six people were killed and twenty-two others injured in Zahedan’s terrorist attack on Saturday. Iranian security forces eliminated three assailants during the ensuing clashes.
A commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Basij force was also killed in a terrorist attack in Zahedan on Sunday
Sistan and Baluchestan Province, which borders Pakistan, has witnessed several terrorist attacks targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years.
Terrorist groups carrying out attacks against Iranian interests in the southeastern and southwestern parts of the country are believed to be linked to foreign spy agencies.
On October 26 last year, ten members of Iran's law enforcement forces were killed in a terrorist attack in the Gohar Kuh district of Taftan County in the province.
The so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group claimed responsibility for the assault, which was one of the deadliest in the province in recent months.
