Iran kills six militants linked to Israel after deadly police attack

Iranian security forces shot dead six militants in the country’s southeast, a day after armed rebels killed five police officers. According to the official news agency IRNA, evidence suggested the group had ties to Israel and may have received training from the Mossad spy agency. Authorities also arrested two other members of the group, noting that all but one were foreign nationals. This event occurred in a region known for repeated clashes between security forces and armed groups, which Tehran often claims have foreign connections.
