Fars and Tasnim news agencies, both affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, published this news on Friday, October 17.

🔸 These news agencies wrote, quoting Farja's spokesman, that Mrs. Iftakhari was killed "as a result of an assassination operation in the direction of the pilgrimage spring of Ziarat in Zahadan."

The Fars news agency, citing an unnamed informed source, wrote that Aftakari was killed "during a roadside bomb explosion in the path of the police car" in Zahedan.

Tasnim also wrote that the cultural and social deputy of the Sistan and Balochistan Police Command was sent "to solve the problems of marginalized peoples".

According to these reports, the main perpetrator of the attack was killed while fleeing.
