Iran arrests one over terrorist attack on police, governor declares mourning day

Zahedan, IRNA – One terrorist has been arrested over a terror act that took place in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan on Saturday, police say.

The brazen assault left 10 Iranian law enforcement personnel martyred.

Shortly after the terrorist act, the spokesman for the Police Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran Saeed Montazer-al-Mehdi said that one of the terrorists have been arrested.

Mohammad Karami, the governor general of the Sistan and Baluchistan province, declared today (Sunday) as public mourning. 

Meantime, police spokesman announced that at least 3 terrorists of the Taftan incident have been killed in a joint drone operation conducted by police and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

"Another person who was injured and arrested by the police yesterday is under interrogation and special security measures," he added.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed his condolences over the tragic incident, saying that Iran's enemies should know that these valiant people stand fearlessly in defense of their homeland and will respond to any stupidity with tact and intelligence.

“I offer my condolences to the families and people of the Iranian nation over the martyrdom of the brave military personnel, policemen”, he added in his message.

Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani has urged the world body to firmly condemn the heinous terrorist attack.
