Iranian intelligence forces have successfully arrested a group of terrorists responsible for a recent deadly attack on a vehicle transporting presidential election ballot boxes in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan.

The assault, which occurred on June 29 in the Jakigur Rural District of Rask County, resulted in the deaths of two soldiers and left several others wounded.

In a statement released on Sunday, the provincial intelligence general directorate detailed the attack, revealing that the vehicle was ambushed while carrying ballot boxes away from a polling station.

In response to the attack, Iranian intelligence launched an extensive operation to identify and capture the perpetrators both within the country and abroad.

The intelligence forces managed to locate the militants' hideouts across various locations in Sistan and Balouchistan through a series of complex and multi-layered operations. The final operation took place at approximately 4 a.m. local time on July 5, leading to the arrest of all eight individuals involved in the attack.

During the operation, authorities confiscated several assault rifles, magazines, tactical multiband radios, and a substantial amount of ammunition.

According to the statement, the captured terrorists were receiving instructions from handlers in a neighboring country and were planning further acts of terror in the aftermath of Iran’s presidential election.

Iranian election 

The terrorist attack in Iran took place as part of the various tactics used to disrupt the Iranian election, including how ahead of the first round, Iranians attempting to vote in the diaspora, were met with verbal, physical, and sexual abuse.

In at least seven countries including Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand, Iranian voters reported incidents of harassment and intimidation by individuals described as anti-Iranian aggressors waiting outside polling locations.

Some of these attackers have been linked to terrorist organizations such as the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), while others seem to be associated with monarchist or separatist groups.

Iraqi journalist, Najah Mohammad Ali wrote in a post on X that "the British police arrested a number of anti-Iranian elements who tried to disrupt the voting process of the 14th presidential election by attacking voters in the polling station in Birmingham."

Moreover, another independent journalist, Ali Alizadeh, wrote a long post on X outlining his voter experience among which he spoke of women who were sexually abused and pro-monarchist protestors threatening him personally and others who had come to vote.
