IRGC decries deadly terrorist attacks on Sunni tribal leaders in southeast
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in a statement on Sunday strongly condemned recent deadly attacks on the heads of Sunni tribes in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
"The unity, brotherhood, and peaceful coexistence of the brave and faithful people of the southeastern region of the country have always been praised by all. The enemies of the country, through their blind and cowardly actions, seek to disrupt this national cohesion," the statement said.
The statement was issued after Mullah Kamal Salahizehi, a well-known Baluch figure in the Sarbaz county of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, was assassinated by terrorist groups on Sunday.
“Mercenary groups affiliated with the Israeli regime, by committing recent crimes and killing a number of Sunni elders and tribal leaders, have once again revealed their anti-Islamic nature,” the statement added.
The IRGC underlined that such crimes will never weaken unity of Shias and Sunnis in Sistan and Baluchestan Province.
"The perpetrators and commanders of these crimes will soon face the consequences of their shameful actions, and the powerful security and military forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will decisively deliver a fitting response to these savage acts."
